FINAL ASSEMBLY LINE (FAL)

Designed in Germany.
Built in Saxony.
Delivered to the World.

Our world-class Final Assembly Line in Leipzig is the heart of manufacturing operations for the D328eco®. With a 100% CO2-neutral footprint, this Factory 4.0 production facility is designed to operate as a modern ecosystem. Driven by advanced automated logistics and a paperless workflow, our digital architecture is built to optimise the aircraft’s entire lifecycle, from assembly to aftermarket support. Best-in-class processes ensure we meet ambitious targets for quality, efficiency and sustainability, creating a new benchmark for modern aviation manufacturing.

Aviation is Coming Home

For the first time in over twenty years, a new CS25 regional aircraft is being built entirely on German soil. The next-generation D328eco will be assembled from the ground up at the FAL at Leipzig/Halle Airport, unifying the DNA of the legacy Dornier 328 with pioneering materials and technologies. The Deutsche Aircraft FAL signals the return of German aerospace manufacturing, as we establish a new industrial hub in Saxony.
