Airbus has announced the launch of a limited share buyback programme, intended for future employee ownership plans and equity-based compensation. The programme will be carried out on the open market until 16 January 2026, covering up to a maximum of 4,140,000 shares, with the final amount depending on the market price in accordance with the relevant regulatory rules.
In the first phase, for which Airbus has mandated an investment firm, up to 2,070,000 shares are planned to be repurchased between 8 September and 31 October 2025. The investment firm will independently decide on the timing of transactions, without influence from Airbus.
The company emphasised that the programme will be implemented in line with market conditions and the European regulatory framework, including the EU Market Abuse Regulation and its Delegated Regulation.
This decision is based on the authority granted to Airbus’ Board of Directors by the General Meeting of shareholders on 15 April 2025, which approved the possibility of repurchasing up to 10% of the company’s share capital. The programme aims to prevent dilution of existing shares while at the same time securing funds to reward employees through share ownership schemes and compensation linked to the company’s performance.
