PARIS (Reuters) - The first aircraft produced in the United States by European aerospace company Airbus (NYSE: AIR) took off from Mobile, Alabama on Monday and landed safely after a three-and-a-half hour flight, the Toulouse, France group said.
The A321 jetliner is due to be delivered to JetBlue Airways Corp. (NASDAQ: JBLU) in a few weeks, Airbus said in a statement.
Airbus broke ground on the assembly plant in Mobile in 2012.
