Airbus opens 10th A320 final assembly line at repurposed Toulouse A380 facility

Airbus inaugurated its second A320 Family final assembly line at the repurposed Jean-Luc Lagardère facility in Toulouse on 15 June 2026, marking the tenth such line globally. This expansion, part of a network split across Hamburg (4), Mobile (2), Tianjin (2), and Toulouse (2), adds flexibility and capacity to meet strong demand for the A321neo. The new line employs digital controls, automated logistics, and robotics, supporting a ramp-up toward 75 aircraft per month by end-2027. Repurposing the former A380 superjumbo building underscores strategic infrastructure reuse. The two Toulouse lines will involve nearly 1,500 employees at full capacity, reinforcing Airbus’s production-scale-up program across key global sites.
