Iflg NY Times har Airbus bestemt seg for å bygge en fabrikk ved Mobile, Alabama for produksjon av fly av type A320-familien. Dette er i utgangspunktet en modifisering av planene de hadde for å bygge A330-tankere for det amerikanske forsvaret. Mange gode arbeidsplasser i en region som trenger det.

Airbus, the European plane maker, plans to build its first assembly line in the United States in Mobile, Ala., in an aggressive foray into the world’s largest market for single-aisle airplanes, people with knowledge of the plan said on Wednesday.
The plan calls for an investment of several hundred million dollars in a plant on Boeing’s home turf that could eventually assemble dozens of Airbus’s popular 150-seat A320 jets each year. Details are expected to be announced as early as Monday, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the plan was still confidential.
