Increasing A320 production in Hamburg would help to mend the soured relationship between Airbus and Germany. Thinking outside the box ! My idea would be an Final assembly line at Broughton ! They could Also do the Bremen work to the wings as well. Think how many less wing sets would have to flown out of Broughton by Beluga, they could fly themselves out on delivery  PS why did Airbus piss off Germany ? |

A350 is all assembled in France mainly instead of sharing it with Germany

A350 is all assembled in France mainly instead of sharing it with Germany At a production rate of 10 or 12 or even 14 a month there is not much need for a second FAL. You also don't want to be sending large parts from place to place and then to the FAL. What parts come from / what assembly work for the A350 is carried out in Germany? I don't think we in the UK moan about only ! doing wings / undercarriage Etc |

I think the issue soured because Germany was picked to build the anticipated next-generation Airbus narrowbody, and then Airbus decided to go for the A320neo instead.
At the same time, some influential people with access to Chancellor Merkel pushed to increase the German influence and role in Airbus, which Tom Enders refused.

Germany would never have been the only FAL to build the "next-gen" narrow body ? It would always have been spread around France, Germany, China and soon the USA. So I don't understand Their problem ? Am I missing something ? |

I do not believe there is a real problem. Parts are produced all around the globe and brought to one place and put together - that is the visible part - but just a minority of the total effort.
I believe you would have a problem to find EU/NA/Asian(-developed) country not producing some completely vital parts.
As a matter of fact it is pretty similar to Boeing - just the American percentage is bigger - similar to overall EU one in Airbus.

I think it's an error to see this issue as a workshare dispute. Germany actually wants to lead the development of a clean-sheet aircraft to be on par with France in that respect. That claim is/was at the heart of the dispute.
