“We are very happy to welcome our new colleagues from Mobile to the Airbus family,” Dr Ulrich Weber, Head of Final Assembly Line USA said in a statement. “They’ve been trained in Mobile over the past two months, but now they will be able to touch the aircraft and really learn how Airbus’ assembly process works.”
A320 Family aircraft assembly is scheduled to commence at Mobile in 2015, with first delivery scheduled for 2016.
