Airbus Family

The Airbus program began in 1965 when the governments of France and Germany initiated discussions about forming a consortium to build a European high-capacity, short-haul jet transport.

Airbus A320, A330/A340, A380, and A350 aircraft are completed at a complex near Toulouse, while A318, A319, and A321 aircraft are assembled in Hamburg. In addition, A320 aircraft have been assembled in Tianjin, China, since 2008, and in 2012 Airbus announced that A320s would be assembled in Mobile, Alabama, starting in 2015.
