Bangalore-Based Firm To Manufacture A220 Aircraft Doors For Airbus

French aerospace manufacturer Airbus has awarded a contract to an Indian firm for the production of all doors for its A220 family of narrow-body aircraft, marking a significant stride in bolstering the 'Make in India' initiative.

The announcement was made at a function attended by Union Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and others on Thursday.

While financial specifics remain undisclosed, Bengaluru-based Dynamatic Technologies secured the contract, leveraging its existing expertise in manufacturing the Flap Track Beam for Airbus A330 and A320 Family aircraft.

Notably, in March 2023, Airbus awarded a contract to Tata Advanced Systems Ltd. (TASL) to manufacture cargo and bulk cargo doors of the A320neo aircraft family.

TASL will produce these doors at a new facility in Hyderabad using cutting-edge robotics and automation technology.

In addition, Airbus will build the C295 military aircraft final assembly line (FAL) with TASL in Gujarat, the first concrete, large-scale Make-in-India manufacturing aerospace programme in the private sector.
