Thales to set up MRO centre in India
By MYBRANDBOOK
French aerospace and defence major Thales Group is looking at setting up its own maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) centre in India. It is going to build the hardware on which this software is embedded, in India too and will double the number of engineers on roll in a year
Thales is looking at setting an MRO here to be able to maintain and repair the systems in the country, with major Airbus customers in India that use this system like IndiGo and AirAsia India. For the proposed MRO, Thales is open to both a JV with a suitable partner or fully owned one. The company is planning an investment in millions of dollars in the country.
The avionics major has so far been developing flight management system (FMS) software at its engineering competent centre in Bengaluru where it has about 260 engineers. Thales’ FMS allows pilots to enter the route to be taken in the flight computer. This allows the plane to fly at the right speed, altitude and direction even when it is on autopilot mode.
Yannick Assouad, Thales’ EVP (avionics), said, “India has a major thrust on drones. We are also looking at developing avionics for drones in the country too. We also provide onboard WiFi and are going to do that around the world. That will be possible by tying up with local partners. In India we are looking at doing so with a local satellite provider for the same. The avionics we plan to develop for drones in India will allow users to identify, track and geo-cage drones, allowing for their safer use.”
“On MRO: We look forward to exploring localization and repair options in avionics and IFE for airlines flying in India and internationally. The MRO could be through a JV or it could be fully owned subsidiary of Thales. However, we are still at an early stage with regard to this,” she added.
