Plans to ramp up production have been unveiled by Airbus in a move expected to boost job numbers by around 500 at its wing making plant in North Wales.
The latest plans were confirmed in the first quarter results for 2022 in which the aerospace giant reported consolidated revenues had increased 15% to €12bn and consolidated profits of €1,263m, nearly double the same period in 2021.
The positive outlook means Airbus is now looking at expanding production of the hugely popular A320 family. Production levels in the pandemic slumped, with monthly A320 rates going from 60 to 40.
