Canonical event record

What happened

Airbus is considering higher A350 output beyond its single assembly line, which is rated at 12 to 13 aircraft monthly; board approval is required.

Why it matters: The move would increase Airbus’s wide-body capacity as it competes with Boeing and responds to reported demand, while supply constraints remain a factor.
