The first Airbus #A321 aircraft produced for Delta Air Lines in the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility has flown for the first time. The A321 took off from the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley in Mobile, Alabama, this afternoon. The flight lasted approximately 3.5 hours during which tests were performed on systems, engines and structure performance.
Following the flight, the aircraft will go through a couple more weeks of final production before being delivered to Atlanta-based Delta Air Lines.
