Airbus' second final assembly line for the A320 aircraft is inaugurated in Tianjin on Wednesday. The new facility — the second of its kind in both China and Asia as a whole — is expected to double the A320 family's final assembly capacity in China. Here, the A320 planes will be assembled from large components such as fuselage sections and wings, painted, tested and delivered to customers in China and beyond. See story, page 3; Editorial, page 9
