Gallery: An exclusive look inside Airbus's new Tianjin A330 facility

Many guests inspected Tianjin Airlines' first A330-200.

Chinese drummers welcomed guests for the opening of the A330 Completion and Delivery Center in Tianjin China.

The new plant includes a paint shop, weighing hangar and one main hangar with three aircraft positions covering an area of 16,800 sq m. The A330 C&DC in Tianjin will employ more than 250 people and is ready to deliver two aircraft per month by early 2019.

Inside the new Completion and Delivery Center is the second aircraft for delivery, an A330-300 for China Eastern Airlines.

The first aircraft delivered from the new facility is an Airbus A330-200 forTianjin Airlines.

Near the Airbus A330 Completion and Delivery Center is the Final Assembly Line (FAL) for the A319 and A320 aircraft. The first China-built aircraft was delivered in June 2009.

Airbus's joint venture, Harbin Hafei Composite Manufacturing Center, which assembles many A320 and A350 parts including elevators and rudders.

Smaller composite parts are still man-made.

Composite shopfloor manager Antonin Alamelle explains the production of an A350 elevator. The parts will be shipped to Europe, which takes about two months onboard a container ship.

Employees work on an A350 rudder. Per month, six A350 rudders and 45 A320 rudders are produced in Harbin and sent to Airbus in Europe. 80% of all A320 single-aisle aircraft rudders are produced in Harbin.

Another A350 elevator, which is located on the wing in the rear of the aircraft  close to the tail, will be prepared for the next step of manufacturing.
