Airbus has taken a significant step in advancing the Government of India's ‘Make in India' vision by awarding Dynamatic Technologies (Dynamatic), based in Bengaluru, a contract for manufacturing and assembling doors for its A220-family aircraft. This substantial aerospace export contract supports the A220 programme's expansion, enhancing existing capacity. Dynamatic will produce and assemble cargo, passenger and service doors, along with over-wing emergency exit doors, contributing to downstream opportunities for other Indian suppliers.
This marks Airbus' second doors contract with an Indian supplier in under a year. In 2023, Tata Advanced Systems secured the contract for manufacturing bulk and cargo doors for the A320 family. A longstanding partner, Dynamatic already manufactures components for the Airbus A330, A320 family and the cockpit escape hatch door for the A220.
India is a key strategic resource hub for Airbus, with an expanding industrial footprint covering aircraft assembly, component manufacturing, engineering design, development, MRO support, pilot and maintenance training and academic collaboration. Airbus' annual procurement from India currently stands at around US$750 million, expected to rise to US$1.5 billion in the coming years. Airbus is also contributing to the Indian aerospace ecosystem with the establishment of final assembly lines for the C295 military aircraft in Vadodara and the H125 helicopter.
