There is no way AB are going to produce A320 Ceo and Neo family aircraft in 2019, just multiply A319, A320 and A321, by Neo and Ceo, then by the engine choices. To many variants ! While your points ar valid I don't think is matter that much. The A320 varients are rather standard, so for Airbus is mainly the pylons that differ. Beside that it should matter that much which engines they put on the aircraft. You don't need that much flexibility in the production to be able to do this without much issues |

You don't need that much flexibility in the production to be able to do this without much issues Airbus will have 7 FAL running, 8 when #4 in XFW is running. If it would be a bother running too many different types on one FAL, they could differentiate between the FAL. But up to now, running A318/319/320/321 with different engines has not been a problem in XFW. |

I do not believe it is a problem. Plane manufacturing is not really serial mass production - it goes step by step....
For comparison look at the production of cars. Each of the cars on the line is slightly different, maybe 6 engines, various stages of equipment....
There are factories - production lines making even various "types" of cars - for instance PSA factory making Peugeot 407 and Citroen C5, they are running on the same line one is that with 1,6HDi, next is the other with 2,0 gasoline....
Toyota/PSA factory in Kolin makes Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1 and Peugeot 107 with 7 different engines and they produce one every minute or so coming out completely randomly as the orders run.

Leahy wants more A321 production slots, up to 60% of A32x production! Of course, he wants to have more A321s to sell ! Salesmen always tell production people that they need to ramp up, while the latter reply that this is far from simple, that planning is required. JL often seems to be making the case in public for his own proposals inside Airbus. |
