Alcoa has been awarded a new multi-year supply agreement with Airbus for aluminum sheet and plate products using the company’s advanced-generation aluminum alloys.
The agreement was reached at the Paris Air Show with a value of approximately $1.0 billion over its life.
According to the company, Alcoa’s leading aluminum solutions will be used across virtually all Airbus commercial aircraft programs, from short-range/single-aisle to long-haul/twin-aisle jets including the A380 and range from fuselage panels to structural components to Airbus’ newest wing skins.
The Alcoa flat rolled products will be supplied from the company’s plants in Davenport, Iowa in the U.S., Kitts Green in the U.K., and Belaya Kalitva in Russia.
