Daher (Orly, France) is strengthening its operations on the Airbus (Toulouse, France) final assembly lines (FAL) in Toulouse for long-haul, widebody jetliners following the renewal of cabin outfitting contracts for the A350 and A330 programs.

For the A350, Daher works on one of every two aircraft that are assembled, providing high value-added services — including installation, assembly, quality inspection and technical support.

These contracts, renewed in October 2025, support the production ramp-up of the widebody A350 aircraft program, which is scheduled to reach 12 aircraft monthly in 2028. Nearly 200 Daher personnel currently are assigned to the cabin outfitting program, and the team is expected to grow to 260 employees by the end of 2026.

For the A330, Daher continues a historic collaboration of more than 30 years with Airbus on this widebody jetliner’s final assembly. The contract covers three work packages: sidewall panels, overhead stowage bins and integration of oxygen modules. A team of 45 experts ensures a steady pace of four aircraft per month.

In another announcement, Daher has also been entrusted with an industrial services assignment on Airbus’ second A321 FAL, also in Toulouse, effectively doubling the scope of its operations related to the build-up of this single-engine jetliner. Services include preparing the fuselage (cabin equipment, electrical systems, cockpit, carpeting) and the wings (preparation of assembly surfaces, hydraulic draining, hatch removal).

“These renewals [and expanded contracts] confirm Daher’s strategic role and our ability to support the production ramp?up of long?haul aircraft programs,” says Cédric Eloy, the CEO of Daher Industrial Services.
