Visitors take pictures of a model plane of the Airbus A330-300 during the ground-breaking ceremony for the A330 Completion and Delivery Center at the plant of Airbus Tianjin Final Assembly Line (FALC) in Tianjin, China, 2 March 2016. Airbus Group SE drew a line on how far it's prepared to extend jetliner production into China, saying it won't help competitors develop aircraft, and that the country's wide-body orders don't justify building its most lucrative models there. No talks have taken place about construction of twin-aisle jets such as the A330 and A350 in China, Fabrice Bregier, who heads Airbus's planemaking arm, said at a briefing Tuesday (1 March 2016) in Tianjin, ahead of the opening of a completion shop that will put the finishing touches on wide-bodies flown in from Europe. At a short ceremony Wednesday breaking ground on the finishing center, Bregier sat with officials from the Aviation Industry Corp. of China, the Tianjin municipality and China's top economic planning agency against a bright red backdrop emblazoned with an image of the A330. Airbus will perform painting and cabin-fitting work for the wide-body jet at the new plant, as well as assembling four A320s a month at its existing Tianjin facility for narrow-body planes. Rival Boeing Co. also is looking to open a single-aisle finishing center in China.
