AIRBUS
AIRBUS is a French societe par actions simplifiee (SAS), registered with the French Trade and Companies Register (Registre du Commerce et des Societes) under SIREN 383474814. It was incorporated on 18 October 1991, and its registered office is located in Blagnac, in the Toulouse area of southwestern France.
The company operates within the commercial aircraft business of the Airbus group, designing, manufacturing, marketing and supporting a family of passenger and freighter aircraft. Its industrial and final-assembly activities are concentrated at sites in and around Toulouse, alongside engineering, procurement and customer-support functions serving airline customers worldwide. The wider Airbus group also produces helicopters and defence and space equipment, activities carried out through other Airbus group companies.
Airbus shares are listed on Euronext Paris, with secondary trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and on regional exchanges in Spain; AIRBUS, as the French operating entity described here, does not itself carry a separate stock-exchange listing.
According to filed company accounts, AIRBUS reported company-level turnover of approximately EUR 57.4 billion and around 10,068 employees for the financial year ended 31 December 2024. These figures relate to this French operating entity specifically and should not be read as the wider Airbus group’s consolidated results, which also include the helicopters, defence and space, and connectivity businesses.

Officers
5
Guillaume Faury is separately confirmed by Airbus group reporting as Chief Executive Officer of Airbus SE, the wider Airbus group. Christian Scherer is separately confirmed as an Airbus group executive with responsibility for the Commercial Aircraft business. These external confirmations relate to their group-level roles and do not independently verify appointment or resignation dates at this specific French entity.
Data availability: the registry extract reviewed does not disclose appointment dates, resignation dates or nationality for the individuals named, and no former or resigned officers are recorded. This should be treated as a partial disclosure, consistent with typical French RCS officer records.
Group Structure
As of mid-2026, Airbus SE’s largest disclosed shareholders were state-linked investment vehicles: the French state, via SOGEPA / Agence des participations de l’Etat, held approximately 10.9%; the German state, via GZBV (majority-owned by the state development bank KfW), held approximately 10.8%; and the Spanish state, via SEPI, held approximately 4.1%. The remaining shares were held in public free float. Airbus SE’s articles of association reportedly prevent any single shareholder from crossing a 15% ownership threshold.
The precise ownership chain between AIRBUS (this French operating entity) and Airbus SE, including whether AIRBUS is wholly or partly owned and whether the interest is held directly or through intermediate holding companies, was not confirmed from a primary registry source in this review. The officers named in AIRBUS’s registry records (including Airbus group executives Guillaume Faury and Christian Scherer) support its position within the Airbus group but do not themselves establish or quantify a corporate ownership relationship.
Data availability: group-structure information for this entity is partial. The ultimate parent and its major state shareholders are well documented in public sources, but the direct or indirect ownership chain linking Airbus SE to this specific French entity was not verified.
