Commercial air traffic volumes are rising by around 5% year on year. Passenger demands have increased and they look for safety, comfort, entertainment and connectivity. Facing the pressures of rising fuel prices, operating costs and profit margins, airlines are demanding more fuel efficient aircrafts in the form of new aircraft programs, replacements and upgrades. To gain patronage, airlines are also opting for plush cabin interiors equipped with state of the art electronics such as in-flight connectivity and the latest in-flight entertainment systems. Faced with the growing traffic volumes and fuel prices, airports face the challenge to safely and efficiently manage the arrival and departures. These trends have forced the aircraft OEMs and their supply chain to design and build technology, components and solutions that are not only superior in terms of technology but are also cost competitive.
OEMs build aircrafts by integrating components and services sourced from across the globe with emphasis on safety, quality, reliability and cost. Emerging markets in a growing economy such as India are proving not only to be a geography with huge demands for new aircrafts and defense spending but also as the most cost effective centers to source high quality research, technology products and engineering services.
