Mr. D Anand Bhaskar<\/strong>, Managing Director & CEO, Air Works Group said, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful to both Boeing and the Indian Navy for their trust in Air Works to deliver on such a unique and mission-critical project for the very first time in the country. Not only has every successful inspection increased our confidence in managing such intricate and specialized projects on behalf of our defense forces, but the fact that we have been able to value add with our ingenuity and decades-long experience to enhance the
quality of maintenance of these premium assets has particularly boosted our motivation and self-assurance. <\/p>

This is an incredibly proud moment for everyone at Air Works, especially the P-8I project team – who have transformed their ardent passion into a brilliant outcome, and we look forward to expanding our collaboration horizon.\u201d<\/p>Air Works CEO & MD D Anand Bhaskar commenting on Delivery of 6th Boeing P-8I aircraft to Indian Navy<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He further added,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of the key learning of this project has been that aviation & aerospace OEMs must take a leaf from Boeing\u2019s BIRDS hub initiative and partner with domestic MROs like Air Works, to successfully realize the Government\u2019s Make-in-India program, to scale up local maintenance capabilities and ensure that more and more maintenance assignments \u2013 irrespective of their complexity or their nature – civil or defense – are undertaken within the country, for cost-effectiveness and to create a strategic depth.\u201d<\/p>Air Works CEO & MD D Anand Bhaska comments<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Salil Gupte<\/strong>, President, Boeing, India talking about this milestone added, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEnsuring mission-readiness for our customers and providing them seamless services and support on our platforms are imperative for Boeing.

He further added,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have always supported the development of indigenous<\/strong> aerospace and defense capabilities in India<\/strong>, and through the years, invested in
partnerships within the Indian aerospace ecosystem in MRO, services, and sustainment, as much as in manufacturing, R&D, and innovation, and talent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
