In addition to the appearance by the JetBlue A321, Airbus itself is increasing its participation at Oshkosh in 2016. It will have its own weeklong exhibit at AirVenture and is serving as presenting sponsor for the inaugural Founders\u2019 Innovation Prize, a $25,000 competition which encourages and highlights aviation safety innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEAA AirVenture Oshkosh is all about innovation, and as Airbus moves to this production in America, this is a perfect place to show this new era for Airbus and JetBlue,\u201d said Rick Larsen, EAA\u2019s vice president of communities and member programs, who coordinates features and attractions at AirVenture. \u201cIt adds to AirVenture\u2019s standing as a place where the world of aviation truly comes together, from huge airliners to the smallest ultralight, in a way unmatched anywhere else.\u201d
\nThe A321 made in the Airbus U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Mobile typically carries 185 customers. Airlines already have placed more than 1,200 A321 aircraft in service around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to a fun and exciting day at Oshkosh sharing our BluesMobile aircraft with the EAA community,\u201d said Captain Bart Roberts, Vice President Flight Operations, JetBlue. \u201cOshkosh celebrates flight and craftsmanship. BluesMobile is dedicated to the Airbus team for proudly bringing their manufacturing excellence to the U.S. We are honored to celebrate this new aircraft and our partners at Airbus at Oshkosh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOshkosh has its own unique place in the world of aviation, bringing together history, innovation, and fun,\u201d said Barry Eccleston, President of Airbus Americas, Inc. \u201cWe\u2019ve had a wonderful experience in our previous visits to AirVenture, so we want to share the Airbus story here \u201c\u2026 and bring a few surprises during the week as well.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
