Airbus Begins Construction of $300 Million Assembly Plant in Alabama
MOBILE, AL—Airbus has begun construction of a new $300 million assembly plant here to manufacture the A220 jetliner. The project is expected to create 432 full-time jobs.
Airbus already produces the larger A320 jetliner in Mobile. That facility, which opened in 2015, employs 700 people. It is producing 4.5 aircraft per month and could be making as many as five per month by the end of the year. The plant delivered its 100th jetliner last month.
