Airbus plans to add a production line for the A321neo at its facilities at Toulouse, France.
Michael Schoellhorn, Airbus Chief Operating Officer said, “We are enjoying unprecedented high demand for our winning A320neo family and especially its A321 Long Range (LR) and Xtra Long Range (XLR) derivatives. In order to optimize the industrial flow, we have decided to increase our global A321 production capacity”
Also, to modernize their production facilities, the Airbus expanded production center will add a digitally enabled A321 line.
The long-range A321, part of the Airbus’ A320 Family, is being developed with new engine options (NEO), providing expanded seating capacity and other refinements.
