The

kind in India.
This announcement marks a milestone as Dynamatic
Technologies will be responsible for producing all door variants for the

The decision to award this

Guillaume Faury on January 26.
The discussions during the meeting
focused on exploring collaboration opportunities in aircraft
manufacturing and design, underscoring the growing importance of India
as a strategic partner in the global aerospace industry.

Airbus aircraft in the Indian aviation market.
