The Airbus plant located in Hamburg, Germany, gives the impression of a “city within a city” due to its scale and production capacity.
According to APA’s correspondent dispatched to Hamburg, journalists were given a close look at the plant’s operations during a media tour organized in connection with the delivery of the first Airbus A321neo aircraft to Azerbaijan Airlines (AZAL).
The media tour was led by Airbus media coordinator Daniel Werdung. He briefed journalists on the production process, aircraft assembly stages, and the company’s future plans, while also answering questions.
It was noted that Airbus’ production complex in Hamburg covers an area equivalent to approximately 500 football fields. The plant employs 18,000 people.
The company’s order backlog indicates that its production lines will remain fully loaded in the coming years. Airbus currently has orders for a total of 9,000 aircraft over the next 10 years. Of these, 7,500 are for the A320 family, including A321neo aircraft.
According to Airbus representatives, the process from placing an order to delivering an aircraft to a customer takes an average of four years.
Note that Airbus’ Hamburg plant is one of the company’s main production centers, where final assembly work is primarily carried out for aircraft of the A320 family. Airbus was founded in 1970 through a joint initiative of leading European aviation companies. The company is headquartered in Toulouse. Airbus is currently considered one of the world’s largest civil aircraft manufacturers and produces aircraft from the A220, A320, A330 and A350 families, as well as military aircraft, helicopters and space technologies. The company’s products are operated by hundreds of airlines around the world. Airbus’ order backlog currently includes several thousand aircraft, the majority of which belong to the A320 family.
