toffeez, I do not understand what you mean. Airbus has 7 A320 family production lines on 3 locations, while a fourth (Mobile) is being added. 4 subtypes are build now (ecl. ACJs) and they'll swith to NEO's in a few yrs. What do you mean by stand alone product? They would probably add a second line next to an A320 line at one of the locations, like they did in 2011 in Hamburg.

E.g Mobile or Tjianjin would be a good opportunity's and I foresee a market of about 1000-2000 in the next 15 yrs and little competition. News broke this week Airbus is finally moving ahead with bigger, longer ranged Beluga's based on the A330-200.
