Daher has been entrusted with an industrial services assignment on Airbus’ second A321 final assembly line (FAL) in Toulouse, France – effectively doubling the scope of its operations related to the build-up of this single-engine jetliner.

Since 2022, Daher has been the lead service provider for the A321 FAL in Toulouse, named after Jean‑Luc Lagardère. At the end of 2025, Airbus renewed the contract for the initial final assembly line, and awarded Daher the same operations on the second FAL at the Toulouse site.

These services include preparing the fuselage (cabin equipment, electrical systems, cockpit, carpeting) and the wings (preparation of assembly surfaces, hydraulic draining, hatch removal) – ensuring quality and smooth workflow throughout the process.

“This expansion reflects the strength of our partnership with Airbus,” explained Cédric Eloy, the CEO of Daher Industrial Services. “We successfully supported the launch of the first Airbus A321 FAL, and we’re now continuing the journey with the second final assembly line. By pooling expertise and strengthening synergies, we provide Airbus with a reliable and competitive operating model.”
