The Airbus wing-making plant at Broughton has received a boost following Delta Air Lines’ decision to order an extra 30 A3210 aircraft. The plant, near Chester, employs around 4,500 staff making wings for all the group’s commercial airline clients.
Delta has ordered 30 more A321neo (new engine option) aircraft to help meet its future fleet requirements.
The newly-ordered aircraft are in addition to the airline’s existing orders for 125 of the type, bringing the outstanding orders from Delta to a total of 155 A321neos.
