Airbus Builds A321XLR Wings in UK and Final Assembly in Germany Across Four Nations
The Airbus A321XLR is built across four countries before it flies. Its wings are manufactured in North Wales, its forward fuselage in western France, its rear fuselage and Rear Center Tank in northern Germany, and its tail in central Spain. The components travel between facilities by road, barge, and a fleet of purpose-built Beluga cargo aircraft before arriving in Hamburg for final assembly.
