Airbus: strengthens partnership with China

(CercleFinance.com) - Airbus has said that it will strengthen its partnership with China, as both sides commit to "a further deepening and broadening of cooperation in the aviation industry".


Under the terms of this agreement, both sides want to increase the group's production capacity in China.

"As part of Airbus' objective to reach a global A320 Family production rate of 63 aircraft per month in 2021, the Airbus Tianjin A320 Family Final Assembly Line (FAL Asia) remains on track to ramp up its production to six aircraft per month by the end of 2019, which is a 50% increase compared to its original design. A350 XWB capabilities will be extended into the Airbus Tianjin wide-body Completion and Delivery Centre (C&DC) from the second half of 2020. The C&DC is scheduled to deliver its first A350 aircraft by 2021 from Tianjin," Airbus said.
