Airbus said on Wednesday it had opened a second assembly line in China, increasing manufacturing capacity for its best-selling A320neo family of single-aisle jets.



The new line completes a jigsaw of 10 global final assembly lines that Airbus says will be involved in a production drive, including two each in the U.S. and China.



The second Chinese line in the port city of Tianjin near Beijing is set to be fully operational in early 2026, the European planemaker said in a statement. Its inauguration comes just over a week after Airbus opened a second final assembly line in Mobile, Alabama in the US
