Airbus Debuts Second Final Assembly Line in China
(MENAFN) Airbus officially inaugurated its second Final Assembly Line (FAL) for A320 family jets in Tianjin, the northern Chinese port city, media reported Wednesday.
Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury detailed the assembly process, stating the aircraft will be built from major components such as fuselage sections and wings, then painted, tested, and shipped to clients in China and beyond.
The assembly of the first aircraft on this new line is already underway.
At the opening event, Faury emphasized the significance of the expansion: "We welcome the addition of Tianjin's second line to our global production system, as it provides us with the necessary flexibility and capacity to deliver on our plan to assemble 75 A320 family aircraft per month in 2027."
Airbus currently operates 10 Final Assembly Lines worldwide—four in Germany, two in France, two in the United States, and two in China. The Tianjin facility alone is projected to contribute 20% of Airbus’ total global A320 production capacity.
In a related development, China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao met with Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury in Beijing on Tuesday, according to a Ministry of Commerce statement.
During their discussion, Wang assured that Beijing will proactively address Airbus’ operational concerns in China and collaborate to maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains.
