Airbus Boosts A320 Production With 2nd Final Assembly Line In Alabama

European aerospace manufacturer Airbus recently opened its second Airbus A320-family final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama on Monday, October 13. The Airbus North America CEO was quick to share his belief that this new site would, in his eyes, allow US Airbus A320 output to double over time. This new line supports Airbus’ ramp towards operating 75 narrowbody models per month by 2027, and it complements an imminent expansion into Tianjin, China as part of the airline’s efforts towards a US-China balancing act amid geopolitical tension.
