According to Reuters, Airbus on Wednesday expanded its industrial presence in the United States, preparing to breaking ground on a new assembly plant for the A220, 18 months after agreeing to buy the Canadian jetliner. The European planemaker said it would invest $300 million and create 400 jobs in the new facility, to be built in the port city of Mobile. Airbus plans to use the site to assemble the A220 for U.S.
