Airbus Launches €10B Share Buyback to Boost Employee Ownership

Airbus (AIR) has initiated a 'share buyback' programme, following approval from shareholders at the Annual General Meeting held on 15 April 2025. The programme, announced on 8 September 2025, aims to support future 'employee share ownership' plans and 'equity-based compensation' schemes.

The programme allows Airbus to repurchase up to 10% of its issued share capital. This move aligns with the company's strategy to enhance 'employee engagement' and incentivise long-term commitment. The buyback transactions are being conducted in compliance with the EU Market Abuse Regulation. Airbus has the authority to proceed with these transactions, as granted by shareholders at the April meeting. The specific name of the Airbus chairman who was authorised by the shareholders is not provided in the search results.

Airbus' 'share buyback' programme, authorised by shareholders and announced in September, is underway. The programme aims to foster 'employee ownership' and aligns with the company's long-term strategies. It is being conducted in accordance with relevant regulations.
