Airbus inaugurates second Toulouse A320 Family final assembly line as it moves Lagardère production

Airbus has opened its tenth A320 Family final assembly line in Toulouse and started final assembly on a second A320 Family FAL at the Jean-Luc Lagardère facility in a repurposed 122,000sqm hangar. The shift is tied to ramping output while ending A320neo-family final assembly at St Martin.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

Airbus is reallocating A320neo-family final-assembly capacity across Toulouse, including shutting down St Martin A320neo assembly, which directly affects single-aisle delivery throughput and near-term schedule risk.
The additional FAL footprint comes as Airbus continues to navigate ramp-up constraints and assimilation challenges—see context in Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury: no sign of jet order cancellations as production ramp remains challenging.
For fleets that are sensitive to narrowbody timing, capacity expansion and line transition decisions can influence delivery friction and planning assumptions highlighted by Air Canada flags ongoing delivery “friction” for delayed Airbus A321XLRs.
