Airbus, Siemens, Novo Nordisk, Samsung and other foreign-funded enterprises are stepping up efforts to resume production. Airbus (Tianjin) Final Assembly Company has increased its assembly capacity to six aircraft each month, up from four per month last year.

The rapid resumption of operations in TBNA has also driven the reopening of the entire industrial chain.
