First U.S.-Built A321 Exits Paint Shop

First Flight And Delivery Planned Soon

The Airbus plant in Mobile, AL appears to be hitting its stride. This week, painting of the first U.S.-built A321 has been completed and it emerged from the paintshop in Mobile in its JetBlue livery.

This latest milestone shows that the first aircraft to be produced at the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility is progressing well on its route to first flight and delivery in spring 2016.

The aircraft painting was completed 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.

Airbus began operations at its first ever U.S. Manufacturing Facility in September of last year.  The plant, which assembles A319, A320 and A321 aircraft, employs a skilled team of more than 250 manufacturing employees.
