Airbus inaugurates new A320 Final Assembly Line at Mobile facility

23 Oct, 2025

MOBILE, AL — Airbus recently celebrated the inauguration of its new A320 Family Final Assembly Line (FAL) at its campus in the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, marking a major expansion of the company’s U.S. manufacturing presence and a milestone moment for Alabama’s aerospace industry.

The new A320 FAL represents the latest step in Airbus’ long-term commitment to its Alabama operation. The project adds significant capacity to meet global demand for the A320 family of aircraft and supports the company’s goal of producing 75 single-aisle aircraft per month in two years.

The new assembly line provides an additional 350,000 square feet of manufacturing, office and logistics space to enable the Mobile site to accelerate production to meet Airbus’ global industrial ramp-up targets.

In addition to the third final assembly line, the latest expansion includes more than 1 million square feet of double bay hangars to support A320 aircraft production, quad-bay hangars to support A220 aircraft production, additional paint shops, a new distribution center, expansion of the facility’s transhipment hangar and delivery center and construction of a new welcome center.

The project adds approximately 1,000 jobs and doubles the size of the U.S. Manufacturing Facility.

“This second A320 production line opening in the U.S. marks another major milestone in our global industrial growth strategy,” Commercial Aircraft CEO Christian Scherer said in a statement.

“To reach a monthly production rate of 75 A320 Family aircraft in 2027, we have developed a resilient, efficient, and globally diversified network, and with the launch of this second line, Mobile’s production capacity for the A320 Family is effectively doubled,” he added.
