Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 14 April 2026 – Airbus Shareholders approved all resolutions proposed at Airbus SE’s (stock exchange symbol: AIR) 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on 14 April in Amsterdam.

René Obermann, Chair of the Board of Directors, informed the Board of his decision not to seek a new mandate as Director at the 2027 AGM, when his current mandate will expire.
