AIRBUS
HEADNOTEEADS to locate Airbus engineering facility at former U.S. Air Force base.
CONSTRUCTION OF AN AIRbus engineering center is expected to begin this month in Mobile, Ala., the first step in what could eventually develop into a large-scale production complex.
The Toulouse, France-based aircraft manufacturer will open the center at Brookley Complex, a former U.S. Air Force base located on Mobile Bay near downtown Mobile that has been transformed into an industrial complex. The Mobile Airport Authority, which owns Brookley, will construct the facility and lease space to the European Aeronautics Defense and Space Co. NV (EADS), of which Airbus is a joint company with the UK's BAE Systems.
IMAGE ILLUSTRATION 1Airbus North America says the center eventually will support 150 engineers. It is slated to open in 2007.
