Airbus rolled out the first U.S. assembled A321 passenger jet from its manufacturing facility in Mobile, Alabama, after completing its painting in JetBlue livery.
The aircraft's first flight and delivery to JetBlue is scheduled for spring 2016.
The aircraft painting was achieved by MAAS Aviation. The company is responsible for painting aircraft in its new facility located on the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley within the Airbus manufacturing facility campus.
In September 2015, Airbus inaugurated operations at its first ever U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile. The plant can assemble Airbus's A320 single aisle family, including A319s, A320s and A321s.
Airbus announced plans for the $600 million U.S. Manufacturing Facility in 2012, and construction began at the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley the following year.
By 2018, the facility will produce between 40 and 50 single-aisle aircraft per year. Airbus’ market forecast indicates a demand over the next 20 years (from all manufacturers) for some 4,700 single-aisle aircraft in North America alone.
