Engineering and manufacturing in Mobile, Alabama

The Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility, the first commercial aircraft production site for Airbus in the country, opened in Mobile, Alabama in 2015. The line currently assembles A319, A320 and A321 aircraft, producing 60 aircraft annually. In January 2019, construction began on yet another final assembly line in Mobile, this one for the A220 Family, Airbus’ newest single-aisle aircraft. A220 assembly began in Mobile in August 2019, with the plan to produce between 40 and 50 A220 aircraft per year by the middle of the following decade.

Also in Mobile is the Airbus Engineering Center, which opened in 2007. This operation employs hundreds of Airbus engineers responsible for the design and development of cabin and cargo interior elements for Airbus’ aircraft. It is also part of the global team responsible for the growing modification market for Airbus single-aisle and long-range aircraft. 

Additionally in Mobile, Airbus Defense and Space Military Aircraft, Inc. provides integrated customer services for medium and light multi-role airlifters (C212, CN235 and C295).  The services include in-house and external aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), engineering, technical support, training, materials support and component repair services.

Mobile’s rich southern tradition, beauty and charm are matched with all the elements of a fast-growing, successful community conveniently located on a deep-water port. Setting up home in Mobile is a great investment, both financially and socially, given its low cost of living and high quality of life.
