The Airbus A320neo family is manufactured in Hamburg and Toulouse. Modern cities with world class engineering universities and many other manufacturing companies that combined create a superior ecosystem.

The Boeing B737 family is manufactured in Kansas. The US aerospace industry is primarily focused on job creation in rural areas and flyover states. Manufacturing safe planes is a distant second priority.

This is a masterful troll. University of Kansas is extremely well known in aviation. Boeing Wichita has been around forever and now that it’s Spirit, it’s an Airbus supplier.

There's also lot of private aviation manufacturing there.

You should read up on where Airbus sites are, and especially why.

That's not at all true. Spirit manufactures what is essentially a shell, the majority of the assembly (and all the work done by Boeing itself) happens in Seattle.
