Global Aircraft Manufacturer Inaugurates 2nd Assembly Line in China

China – Airbus has inaugurated a second final assembly line in Tianjin, China, reinforcing its narrow-body aircraft production capacity as part of a broader global ramp-up strategy. The new facility represents Airbus’s 10th final assembly line worldwide and forms a key component of its plan to increase monthly output of the A320neo family.

• The Tianjin final assembly line is expected to be fully operational by early 2026. This marks Airbus’s second final assembly line in China; the first was established in Tianjin in 2008.

• The inauguration closely follows the opening of a second final assembly line at Airbus’s Mobile, Alabama facility in the United States.

• Airbus aims to reach a production target of 75 A320neo-family aircraft per month by 2027.

• The opening ceremony in Tianjin was attended by Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury, who also met with Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao.
