Gravitas: Why Plane-maker Airbus must assemble in India | Gravitas WION

India has placed orders for 1220 planes in less than two years.
Of these planes, 850 are being made by Airbus.
The European plane-makers has assembly facilities in five countries.
What's stopping it from assembling in India- the country that has given it its record single order?

Airbus probably does not want to train another competitor from India like they did for China C919

[@badujabar9410]

Buy it & copy it. That's the 21st century substitute for innovation. Why spend time & money if u. csn get it for free.

[@Aerrow62]

6:08 : "India has skilled labour" ; everyone who runs a business disagrees. Our definition of skill is screw driver approach with no real engineering skills. Our engineers are unemployable because they are only good at writing tests but not capable of building anything. Don't be overconfident. If you really had the ecosystem and trained labour, the world would be begging you to let them setup a production unit instead of the other way around. We have a long way to go when a field trained construction welder knows more about metallurgy and structural stress than top university mechanical engineers. Get your educational act together before throwing pipe dreams around.

[@bkchaitany]

Idiot, please support India and Indians. Be positive and don't be a crying baby. Everything begins from nothing

[@nomaanparvez384]

because indian engineering students are not concerned about making things , they are only concerned about packages 1cr ,2cr

[@Aerrow62]

@nomaanparvez384 Never understood how their mind goes from certificate to 2cr packages without any maker skills. Some of the best engineers I worked with were diploma holders with exceptional skills both in India and abroad.

This lady has to tone down.. its ok to raise questions but you need to tone down..

[@bhavikshah5016]

I had the same thought when both Airbus and Air India were placing 400+ order with the 2 manufacturers. Ideally this deal should have been driven with Govt getting involved to push for local assembly. Airbus and Boeing would have than have to fight it out to come to India and set up a shop here to get the world's biggest orders.. Its a missed opportunity

[@yashdesai0654]

Well you see most of the parts for Airbus aircrafts are manufactured in Europe. For Instance, Wings and Engines are being manufactured in UK. Direct flight from UK to France takes no more than 1-2 hours. If the same engine is to be transported to India one way flight takes 9 hours and then back to UK or France. So, it would take almost a day to transport 2 engines for 1 aircraft. So, at conclusion it would take longer time to manufacture an Aircraft. And another reason is that Airbus has technologically advanced Final Assembly Line in Toulouse, France.

[@naveensamuel9699]

HAL Bangalore does make doors for these large aircraft manufacturers. Ever since independence India has grown and step by step progressed. No doubt in the future this too might come true.

[@Vivekanandakg]

Assembly of flight is not like assembly of Lego.. it's a complicated world and most of problem accurs at Final assembly so airbus will not take risk.. they have a wonderful final assembly line in Toulouse.

[@yashdesai0654]

The most realistic and rational comment.

[@arunkrishnan5071]

True but its not easy to setup that massive company

[@rahulp4017]

Totally agree.

[@yashdesai0654]

Well look for practicality. It would huge economical and logistical affair to develop an assembly line for manufacturing or assembling civilian aircrafts.

[@sidban]

This is like reading bullet points from a tele-prompter with poor understanding of business and economics. Stay with click baits instead.

[@ashishsehgal296]

Government should implement a simple policy to end airbus and Boeing's duopoly. The manufacturer who sources the most from India gets all the orders. Automatically both will compete. We continue the policy until about 80% of the components are sourced from India. Then we go the Chinese way.

[@Aerrow62]

Because you don't have a choice. They need to setup a new plant and train resources taking 5 years. They can just scale up the existing operations to supply the 1000 aircraft over a 5 year period. Also high speed trains will directly compete with airlines over next decade. They won't setup a new operations and supply chain until multi-decade commitments are made.

[@phanivinayak5371]

Nice introspective and needed article, which GOI should take note of, of assembly line in india, in terms of employment to Indians.

[@krishnadwivedi3880]

India needs to give similar incentives to these manufacturers as we are giving to chip manufacturers. They need to build whole city where they can spend their riches..

[@swarnandrapradesh1]

Not in Gujarat at all...somewhere in South is must.

[@yashdesai0654]

it will not come to India at all. By the way, Vadodara the city of Gujarat already has Airbus C295 aircrafts assembling factory.

ऐसा मत सोचो कि एयरबस भारत में अपने नागरिक विमान बनाएगा। यह चिप्स बनाने जैसा कुछ नहीं है। चिप्स आकार में बहुत छोटे होते हैं जबकि, एक विमान के आकार को देखें। विमान के हिस्सों का निर्माण यूरोप में किया जा रहा है, इसलिए उन हिस्सों को यूरोप से भारत लाने में अधिक समय लगेगा और इससे विमान के संयोजन समय में वृद्धि होगी जो दुनिया में कोई भी निर्माता नहीं चाहता है।

Air india keeps both Airbus & Boeing happy but Indigo, as a loyal customer keeps Airbus happy 🛫🤑✔️

[@yashdesai0654]

One reason is that Air India is Full-Service Carrier and Indigo is a Low-Cost Carrier. So, to reduce the cost of training pilots on new type of aircraft it takes long time and expenses as well. So, by ordering same aircraft type Indigo is saving the cost.
