"Production being pulled from Broughton"

This is not a shoe factory that can be relocated in a couple of weeks.

The wing jigs for the A380 cost over £30 Million each; the reienforced concrete in which they stand has to set for six months and its another 12 months at least to build them.

The design and build of Airbus wings at Filton and Chester (Broughton) is truly best in class.Odd glitches don't change the strategic direction of a company like Airbus.
