Airbus Military Aircrafts

India will get its first Airbus C-295 tactical military transport aircraft this month, an official of the European aircraft manufacturer said on Thursday.

Last week, while inaugurating a new aircraft factory in western India, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi returned to a slogan he coined a few months after taking power in 2014: "Make in India." This time, however, he added: "Make for the world."

Airbus and Tata will set up a plant in Gujarat to build the C295 transport plane in a project worth Rs 22,000 crore. This is for the first time that private firms are making military aircraft in India. The C295 has civilian and military applications.

A consortium led by India's Tata group and Airbus will manufacture the C-295 transport aircraft in the western state of Gujarat, the Indian government said in a statement on Thursday.

European aviation major Airbus on Thursday said it received the regulatory approval from the Indian regulator for its C295 aircraft programme, becoming the first foreign original equipment maker to get such a nod.

The Defence Ministry today inked a nearly Rs 20,000 crore contract with Airbus Defence and Space to procure 56 C-295 medium transport aircraft which will replace Avro-748 planes of the Indian Air Force.

Airbus said today its A400M would take part in the flying display at the Paris airshow next week, just over a month after one of the planes fatally crashed in Spain after a massive engine failure.

An analysis of the black boxes of the A400M military plane which crashed in Spain on May 9, killing four, has revealed that three of the aircraft's four engines failed, Airbus said today.

Airbus said it will carry on with test flights of its A400M military transport plane despite a crash in Spain of one of the aircraft that killed four employees who were honoured Monday with a moment of silence at the company's factories.

Europe's Airbus wants to sell its C295 military transport aircraft to India, an Airbus Military executive said on Thursday, adding that the company was awaiting a request for proposals from the government.

The aviation giant will supply mid-air refuellers, which help fighter planes stay in the sky longer, and reach targets located deep in enemy territory.
