Airbus SE announced a new dividend policy, raising its payout ratio limit from 40% to 50% of profits and hinting at special dividends and share buybacks. The company aims to maintain its cash conversion target and expects to deliver 820 aircraft this year despite supply chain challenges. Airbus' defence sector is thriving, anticipating a 50% increase in military helicopter orders by 2025, and has secured new contracts at the Paris Air Show.
