Alabama NewsCenter — Airbus growth project in ‘full swing’ at Alabama manufacturing center

By: Jerry Underwood

The throttle is open on a major expansion project at Airbus’ U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile that, in a little more than two years, will double production space at the aviation giant’s strategically important Alabama facility.

HPM, Airbus’ program manager for the expansion, says the initial phases of construction are advancing at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley site as part of a project whose centerpiece is the addition of a second A320 Family Final Assembly Line (FAL).

Today, Birmingham-based HPM is actively planning and working from corner to corner of the entire Airbus manufacturing campus in Mobile, with a focus on new installations and upgrades to existing facilities to support an increase in the manufacture of single-aisle passenger jets.
