Air India is the first airline in Asia Pacific to debut Thales's AVANT Up IFE on its new 787-9, featuring 4K HDR screens, high-speed charging, and Bluetooth connectivity.

A new contract localises production of complex RBE2 AESA radar wired structures in India, strengthening defence manufacturing capabilities and long-term industrial collaboration.

The agreement covers over 1,200 Airbus aircraft with Thales’ ‘By The Hour’ repair programs at its Gurugram MRO, plus a 5-year AvioBook EFB rollout.

Thales' new MRO facility in Gurugram will provide avionics maintenance services to major Indian airlines, supporting the growth of the local aviation industry.

Thales and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) are proud to announce the signing of an initial supply of Laser Beam Riding Man Portable Air Defence systems (LBRM) in response to a requirement set out by the Indian Government to support India’s air defence capabilities.

In support of the modernisation and indigenisation ambitions of the Indian armed forces, Thales will reinforce its commitment to “Make in India for India and for the world”, as well as the 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat' vision.
