Airbus comes to Alabama
First deliveries for the 321 are in 1Q 2016. Looks like we could be the initial delivery customer from Alabama.

Edit: OK, maybe second customer.

JetBlue Airways CEO and President David Barger gave his perspective on how Airbus’ $600 million investment in the new Alabama industrial site is viewed by its U.S. customers: “It demonstrates the level of Airbus’ commitment of being close to its important American operator base for A320 aircraft.” He also announced that JetBlue will receive the very first A320 from the Mobile final assembly line – which is targeted for delivery in 2016.
