AIRBUS Group NV, challenging Boeing Co for supremacy in the US$80 billion market for large commercial airliners, is opening its first jet production site on the US competitor's home turf.
The French-based planemaker on Monday was slated to officially unveil a US$600 million plant in Mobile, Alabama, although the first of the A320 jetliners to be built there have been taking shape since July.
