Airbus Boosts A320 Production In The US: What's Next?
Airbus doubles A320 production in Alabama, reshaping US manufacturing and challenging Boeing on its home ground.
When Airbus officially inaugurated its second A320 Final Assembly Line (FAL) at its plant in Mobile, Alabama, in October 2025, the message was unmistakable: this is no small expansion, but a turning point for Airbus’ industrial footprint in North America.
With this addition, Airbus has basically doubled its US A320 production capacity, marking a bold step toward meeting record demand for the Airbus A320neo family.
The timing could hardly be more critical. Airlines across the Americas are racing to modernize their fleets, balancing efficiency targets with capacity needs.
Airbus’ US investment reflects not only surging demand but also a deliberate strategy to localize production and shorten supply chains.
