Daher is strengthening its operations on Airbus final assembly lines in Toulouse, France, supporting long-haul wide-body aircraft following the renewal of cabin outfitting contracts for the A350 and A330 programmes.

On the A350, Daher is involved in one out of every two aircraft assembled, delivering high value-added services including installation, assembly, quality inspection and technical support.

Renewed in October, these contracts underpin the planned production ramp-up of the A350 programme, which is scheduled to reach a rate of 12 aircraft per month by 2028. Nearly 200 Daher employees are currently assigned to cabin outfitting activities, with the workforce expected to increase to 260 by the end of 2026.

For the A330, Daher continues a long-standing collaboration of more than 30 years with Airbus on the aircraft’s final assembly. The contract covers three work packages: sidewall panels, overhead stowage bins and the integration of oxygen modules. A dedicated team of 45 specialists supports a steady production rate of four aircraft per month.

“These renewals confirm Daher’s strategic role and our ability to support the ramp-up of long-haul aircraft programmes,” said Cédric Eloy, Chief Executive Officer of Daher Industrial Services.
