NEW DELHI, India – Airbus Group has consolidated its divisions in India under Airbus Group India and taking responsibility of the new company as president is Pierre de Bausset, a 25-year veteran of Airbus Group and its former Corporate Secretary. India is the first international market where local operations have been brought under a single company as part of the Group’s ‘one roof’ policy.

Tom Enders, CEO, Airbus Group said, “We have implemented a new organisational structure there with Pierre in charge. There will be more internal coordination, pooling of resources and basically a far more efficient engagement with our local stakeholders. Formation of a single company will also greatly support our ‘Make in India’ plans and allow us to take a leap in our relationship with the country.”

The group is tying up with Indian partners to target several ongoing defence acquisition programmes. It has submitted a joint bid with Tata to offer the C295 aircraft as a replacement for the Indian Air Force’s ageing Avro aircraft.
