The company said it targets adjusted EBIT of €12-13 billion in 2029, assuming a €/$ exchange rate of 1.22. Airbus also reiterated its cash conversion target of around 1 over a five-year horizon.

The Airbus Board of Directors approved a share buyback programme of €5 billion over three years. Execution of the buyback will be implemented by management within the terms approved by the Board and will be subject to continued shareholder approval.
