en.Wedoany.com Reported - Airbus has inaugurated its second A320 family final assembly line at the Jean-Luc Lagardère site in Toulouse, France. The new line is designed to support the company's production ramp-up target of 75 A320 family aircraft per month and meet strong market demand for models such as the A321neo.

Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury stated that the new facility provides the necessary flexibility and capacity to coordinate operations with the company's global final assembly network, spanning from Hamburg and Mobile to Tianjin, ensuring the delivery of aircraft that meet the highest quality standards to customers. Following the recent expansion of the Mobile and Tianjin lines, the commissioning of the second line in Toulouse is part of Airbus's strategy to establish 10 A320 family final assembly lines worldwide by 2026. Currently, this industrial network is distributed across four locations: Germany's Hamburg has four lines, the United States' Mobile and Tianjin each have two lines, and Toulouse has two lines.

The new line is located adjacent to the first line, which was inaugurated in July 2023, with both housed in the former A380 Jean-Luc Lagardère building, effectively utilizing the existing footprint. The line integrates digital control, automated logistics, and robotics to optimize workflow and workstation ergonomics. The first line has already employed approximately 700 staff, and as the second line gradually reaches full capacity, the total number of employees at the two final assembly lines at this site is expected to approach 1,500.
