European aerospace manufacturer Airbus recently opened its second Airbus A320-family final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama on Monday, October 13. The Airbus North America CEO was quick to share his belief that this new site would, in his eyes, allow US Airbus A320 output to double over time. This new line supports Airbus’ ramp towards operating 75 narrowbody models per month by 2027, and it complements an imminent expansion into Tianjin, China as part of the airline’s efforts towards a US-China balancing act amid geopolitical tension. The airline’s Mobile campus is also marking 10 years of production, having grown from…

In 2008, Hawaiian Airlines placed a headline order for six Airbus A350-800 models alongside six older-generation Airbus A330-200s, a two-pronged plan that was designed to modernize long-haul flying in the near term. The addition of Airbus A350 models to the fleet later was meant to add to the airline’s operational capabilities. Sales of the smallest Airbus A350 variant ultimately stalled, and the manufacturer moved to kill the program and steer customers towards re-engined Airbus A330neo variants instead. Starting in 2014, Hawaiian Airlines ultimately swapped out its six Airbus A350-800s for six Airbus A330-800neo models. This pivot would ultimately prove temporary,…
