Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) is commencing the multi-year share buyback programme that was communicated to the market upon its approval by the Board of Directors, in conjunction with the Airbus Business Update held on 21 July 2026, as part of its commitment to strengthen shareholder returns, the company said in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on 9 November 2026.

The programme will be executed over a period ending no later than 31 July 2029, in multiple tranches, for a total amount of up to 5 billion euros, or the equivalent amount in shares, which Airbus intends to cancel once acquired. The first tranche will run from 9 November 2026 through 23 December 2026, up to a maximum of 800 million euros, or the equivalent in shares, with the rate and total amount repurchased subject to market conditions. Airbus has mandated an investment firm to manage execution of the first tranche, which will make its trading decisions on the timing of purchases independently of Airbus.

The programme is undertaken pursuant to authority granted by shareholders to the Airbus Board of Directors at the Airbus Annual General Meeting held on 14 April 2026, to repurchase up to a maximum of 10 per cent of the company’s issued share capital; execution remains subject to continued shareholder approval. Airbus says the programme will be carried out in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including the EU Market Abuse Regulation and its Delegated Regulation.
