Since its operations began in 2014, the Customer Definition Centre (CDC) in Hamburg has been a ‘product showroom’ exclusively for A350 XWB customers. Airbus is now redeveloping and equipping an adjacent aircraft hangar into a state-of-the-art and cooperative working environment. When fully completed in 2019, the facility will encompass approximately 4,500 sq m of additional space over two floors dedicated for A320 and A330 customers, to help realize their integrated cabin solutions.
