Safran considers India engine repair plant after mega Airbus order
France’s Safran SA is considering building an engine-repair facility in India, after winning its biggest-ever turbine deal last month with joint venture partner General Electric Co.
The project would be aimed at customers of the venture, CFM International, which was selected by IndiGo NSE 2.25 %, the nation’s top airline, to supply engines NSE 5.93 % for 310 new Airbus SE A320-family aircraft.
A final decision and the timing of any project will be linked to global industry recovery and demand for engine maintenance, repair and overhaul services after the pandemic, a Safran spokesperson said in response to queries from Bloomberg News.
