Airbus has an FAL in Tianjin, which gives the OEM access to one of the world’s fastest-growing travel markets. Last March, this FAL delivered its first A321neo.
Airbus points out: “Inaugurated in 2008, the FAL in Tianjin was the first Airbus commercial aircraft assembly line outside Europe. In the same year, the first aircraft sections arrived on site. Since its first A320 delivery in 2009, Airbus’ FAL in Tianjin has delivered more than 600 aircraft over its 14 years in operation.”
