Airbus is expanding ramp-up capacity with a new automated A321XLR equipping hangar, officially opened today. With this, Airbus continues its modernization and digitalization of its industrial system, expanding capacity for the rate ramp-up in the A320 program to 75 in 2026.
What does this mean? Airbus can now work on eight rear fuselages simultaneously. The stations in the new hangar were planned in close consultation with the employees to create both an efficient production flow and an ergonomically optimized and modern working environment. In addition, the interior design also focused on ensuring optimal conditions for cooperation between the employees in production and the supporting functions.
Co-Founder AirInsight. My previous life includes stints at Shell South Africa, CIC Research, and PA Consulting. Got bitten by the aviation bug and ended up an Avgeek. Then the data bug got me, making me a curious Avgeek seeking data-driven logic. Also, I appreciate conversations with smart people from whom I learn so much. Summary: I am very fortunate to work with and converse with great people.
