Daher has been entrusted with an industrial services assignment on Airbus’ second A321 final assembly line 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.

Cédric Eloy, the CEO of Daher Industrial Services commented: “This expansion reflects the strength of our partnership with Airbus. 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.”

Daher employs more than 14,000 people with revenues of €1.8 billion in 2024. With a family shareholding structure, Daher has been innovation-driven since its founding in 1863. With operations in approximately 15 countries across Europe, North America, and Asia, Daher designs and develops value-added solutions for its aerospace and industrial clients and partners.
