Airbus has committed to raising A320 production at its factory in Tianjin, China, from four to six per month as part of an agreement reached in Beijing Tuesday with China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). Signed during French President Emmanuel Macron’s state visit to China, the memorandum of understanding also calls for the sides to strengthen their cooperation “with regards to technical innovation, engineering capabilities, and supply chain expansion.”
