Official opening for China's A320 line in Tianjin

China's Airbus A320 final assembly line at Tianjin is due to be officially opened today (28 September), as production of the first locally built airframe gathers momentum.

The plant, in which Airbus has a 51% stake with the remainder being held by local investors, began assembling its first A320 on 18 August (pictured), with subassemblies supplied from Europe via Hamburg.
