Re: 380 wing hits the deck.

Volume,
Sorry to be a pedant but the A320 Family wings do go direct from the Chester plant to the aircraft's final assembly site -TLS for the A320 and HAM for the A318, A319 and A321. Their systems and High lift devices are fitted in Chester.

All A300 and A330/A340 wings go from Chester to Germany for system and high lift device fit before going to TLS for Final assembly into the aircraft.

A380 wings come diect to TLS from Chester, oops sorry, Broughton.

Have a happy day,
