Airbus will increase the production of its best-selling A320 single-aisle aircraft family to 46 a month in Q2 2016, from the current rate 42. The new higher production rate will be achieved gradually, with an intermediate step at 44 aircraft per month in Q1 2016.

Airbus has steadily increased A320 Family production, from rate 36 at the end of 2010 to rate 38 in August 2011, then up to rate 40 in Q1 2012 to reach 42 per month in Q4 of the same year.
