Airbus will inaugurate a second final assembly line for the A320 family in Toulouse on 15 June 2026, adding capacity at the Jean-Luc Lagardère hall on the former A380 site. The line doubles down on the A320 program’s industrial footprint, with the new unit mirroring the first Toulouse FAL launched in 2023.
The move expands output for Airbus’s core narrowbody line as backlog pressure keeps production rates under scrutiny. Reconfiguring the A380 hall for single-aisle assembly also signals how the group is reallocating industrial assets toward the workhorses of the market. More capacity now, tighter delivery margins later.
