European aircraft manufacturer Airbus said its Gulf Coast expansion will build new facilities and add 275 jobs in Mobile.
In their Thursday announcement, the company said the construction will cost $40 million. They plan to increase A320 aircraft production to seven per month by 2021.
This move comes amid a tariff dispute involving Airbus. In December, a World Trade Organization panel ruled that the European Union has not complied with an order to end illegal subsidies to the company. The Trump administration imposed nearly $7.5 billion worth of tariffs on EU goods in October.
