Airbus said Tuesday that Chinese authorities have authorized the
European plane maker to restart operations at its A320 final
assembly line in Tianjin, China.
Airbus said it can now gradually increase the production of the
narrow-body airliner at the site. The factory currently produces
about six planes a month.
"Airbus is constantly evaluating the situation and monitoring
any potential knock on effects to production and deliveries and
will try to mitigate via alternative plans where necessary," it
said.
The coronavirus outbreak has killed more than 1,000 people so
far and forced many companies to close stores and plants in
China.
