Airbus Has a Sweet Home for U.S. A320 Production
With Mobile, Alabama facility ramping up to four aircraft a month by 2017, Airbus is well set to supply the U.S. market.

Airbus’s U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile, Alabama, opened last September, could augur well for increased production in Southeast Asia. A320-family airliners are already assembled in Tianjin, China. The U.S. facility rounds out the manufacturer’s production strategy for its high-selling A320 family of aircraft:“building close to its customers.” Airbus expects all aircraft built on the new line to go to U.S. customers, according to company president and CEO Fabrice Brégier.
