First U.S. Built A321 Delivery Set

JetBlue Will Get The Airplane On April 25

The first U.S.-built Airbus A321 airplane will be delivered later this month to JetBlue, according to the planemaker.

The airplane is the first to be assembled at the Airbus Mobile, AL pant that opened last year. The European planemaker spend about $600 million to build the plant on 53 acres near Mobile and it plans to produce up to 50 A320 family airplanes per year on the final assembly line. That would equate to about four airplanes per month.

The JetBlue A321 flew its first test flight from Mobile on March 21. Several Airbus executives, including  COO-customers John Leahy and Airbus VP and GM-US manufacturing Daryl Taylor will be on hand for the ceremony. They will be joined by JetBlue president and CEO Robin Hayes, according to a report from Air Transport World.

A second A321, this one for American Airlines, was rolled off the assembly line on April 4.
