Commercial aircraft production site in Mobile, Alabama

To meet the increasing aircraft demand, Airbus opened its first commercial aircraft production site in the United States in 2015. The U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile, Alabama is a $600 million, 53-acre site that produces A320 Family aircraft.

With a partnership between Airbus and Bombardier cemented in mid-2018, Mobile also is where the final assembly line for A220 Family aircraft destined for U.S. markets is located – further strengthening Airbus’ presence in the United States and the overall U.S. aerospace industry.

A second A320 Family assembly line was added in Mobile in 2025, adding 1,000 jobs and growing the Airbus facility footprint there to 2.5 million square feet.
