Airbus is expected to ramp¹ up the production rate of the A320 Final Assembly Line Asia (FALA) in northern China's Tianjin to six airplanes per month by early 2020, according to Airbus China Tuesday.

 

空客A320天津亚洲总装线的生产率在2020年年初有望提升到每月装配六架。

 

The Airbus A320 FALA in Tianjin is now capable of conducting the final assembly of the A320 family single-aisle airplanes, including the latest model A320neo, Airbus China said.

 

The final assembly line has gradually ramped² up since last year. To date, its production rate is around five A320 family airplanes per month.

 

In 2008, a joint³ venture of the A320 final assembly line was set up in Tianjin by Airbus and Chinese partners to meet surging demand from Chinese customers.

 

It is the third single-aisle aircraft final assembly line location of Airbus and first outside Europe.

 

In June 2009, the Airbus A320 FALA in Tianjin delivered its first aircraft.

 

Besides the A320 FALA, Airbus' A330 Family Completion and Delivery Center in Tianjin delivered the first aircraft in September 2017.
