Airbus officially launches construction of Alabama engineering centre.
AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION-(C)1997-2006 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
The construction of European aircraft maker Airbus' engineering centre in Mobile, Alabama has officially started.
The company said that the construction of long-range A350 aircraft and the Northrop Grumman KC-30
The engineering centre is reportedly scheduled to open in January 2007. It is expected to employ at least 150 engineers at full capacity and will be responsible initially for assignments related to Airbus' new A350 aircraft, including the design of cabin interiors, crew rest compartments, lavatories and galleys. It also is the first step in a potentially larger-scale industrial site to be built should the Northrop Grumman KC-30 Advanced Tanker cargo aircraft team, of which EADS is a principal subcontractor, receive an order to modernise the US Air Force's aerial refuelling tanker fleet.
Airbus is jointly owned by EADS and BAE Systems.
