MOBILE, AL—As part of an overall plan to produce 63 A320 aircraft per month worldwide in 2021, Airbus will increase production of the jetliners at its assembly plant here to seven per month by the beginning of 2021. This increase, and continued recruiting for the A220 manufacturing team, will add 275 jobs to the facility during the next year.
Airbus will also invest another $40 million in the complex to build an additional support hangar, bringing its total investment in the Gulf Coast city to more than $1 billion.
