> It’s majority owned by the French state

Is that really true? I thought it was owned 50:50 by Safran and Airbus which are both publicly traded companies.

~25% of Airbus is owned by France, Germany and Spain. France owes ~11% of Safran. So France seems to own only ~10% of ArianeSpace

You’re correct—thank you. I missed CNES transferring its shares to Sagan [1].
