Airbus to Send Chinese-Made A321 to Wizz in a First for Europe

Airbus SE is preparing to ship a jetliner built in China to a European customer for the first time, flexing its global production network as it works through constraints on delivering new aircraft to customers.

The A321neo jet, being built for Wizz Air Holdings Plc, took its first test flight on June 9, according to tracking website FlightRadar24. Airbus said that its Tianjin plant was able to offer a production slot in line with its customer’s expectations and the carrier’s growth plans.
