TIANJIN: European aircraft manufacturer Airbus inaugurated on Wednesday its latest final assembly line for the A320 aircraft family in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin, the second of its kind in both China and Asia, underscoring the company’s continued commitment to the nation – its largest market.
With preparations for assembling its first single-aisle jet underway, the new facility aims to become fully operational by early 2026.
Amid global uncertainties, Airbus said it remains committed to its “in China, for China” strategy, a key initiative that helps strengthen the resilience of its supply chain.
“We are committed to China, especially in the context of the deglobalisation trend, and Airbus will continue to invest in China.
“Furthermore, the city of Tianjin has become an aviation powerhouse,” said Airbus chief executive officer Guillaume Faury.
“The second line is reinforcing our presence in the Chinese market.” — China Daily/ANN
