Airbus to create 480 jobs in £150m Broughton wing plant conversion
xCruzo Brief
Airbus plans to invest £150 million to convert its former A380 wing production line at Broughton into a new facility for building wings for the A321. The conversion is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The site will include six wing production jigs, an equipping line and a paint shop, and Airbus expects to create around 480 new jobs across the Broughton site in 2026, including 250 in the refurbished factory. Airbus employs about 6,000 people at Broughton. The company says Broughton supplies wings for its A320 Family and has a backlog of around 7,500 orders in that segment, with roughly 70% being A321s.
