Airbus is planning a major expansion in the Port City and that means jobs.

The plane manufacturer announced this week that they are going to start building more aircraft in Mobile in the next few years.With travel back, airlines now need more planes to get passengers on their way.

Prentice is a consultant with 20 years in the aviation industry. He says a new Mobile assembly line will help the company keep up with demand. But a recent survey conducted by Prentice’s company shows one of the things that could throw a wrench in Airbus’ plan is finding enough workers to assemble planes.

Currently, Airbus exclusively assembles single-aisle aircraft in Mobile. Prentice says those types of planes account for 55 percent of the global fleet which is expected to grow to 65 percent by the end of the decade.
