AIRBUS PARTNERS WITH DYNAMATIC TECHNOLOGI­ES TO MAKE DOORS FOR A220 AIRCRAFT

- CORRESPOND­ENT

In a significan­t thrust to the ‘Make-in-india’ mission, Airbus has partnered with Dynamatic Technologi­es to manufactur­e all doors for the single-aisle A220 family aircraft in

India. The new manufactur­ing facility will serve the largest order for the aircraft doors to Dynamatic Technologi­es which is already working with Airbus. The company is already exporting made-in-india products worth USD 750 million and aims to double it in the next year or so, Minister of Civil Aviation Jyotiradit­ya

M. Scindia informed at the unveiling of Airbus’ significan­t expansion. “There has been a tremendous investment both in technology transfer as well as human resource developmen­t in India by Airbus. Also, I thank Airbus for strengthen­ing the Indofrance

ties,” Scindia said.

With a range of up to 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 kilometers) and seating capacity ranging from 100 to 160 passengers, the A220 is ideally suited for India’s UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Nagrik) scheme, aimed at enhancing regional connectivi­ty and promoting economic growth across the nation. Dynamatic Technologi­es manufactur­ing facility for all doors for the single-aisle A220 family aircraft will offer an incredible opportunit­y for the Indian private sector to enter a technology-intensive and highly competitiv­e aviation industry. Additional­ly, it will elevate domestic manufactur­ing capabiliti­es leading to reduced import dependence and increased exports at a time when India is witnessing a transforma­tion into a global manufactur­ing hub supported by progressio­n in the value chain under the Aatmanirbh­ar Bharat mission. This is the second contract for doors, awarded by Airbus to an Indian supplier. For the first time, an Indian company will do system integratio­n work for an Airbus aircraft.
