I just few twice today on Northwest airlines, they are Airbuses, it says the aircraft was made in GErmany, the final, not sure where the airframe is made before getting shipped to Germany
Did you fly on NWA's A319 or 320s? The narrowbodies had major components made from various European member countries: fuselage in Germany, cockpit in France, wings from Britain, and tails from Spain (if the formula from the A300 years are still correct). They are then shipped to Hamburg for final assembly (it is Toulouse for the widebodies like A330, 340, 380) and tests.
