Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The first handover from Airbus's India FAL advances the companys localisation push and follows New Delhis incentives to attract OEM manufacturing and supply-chain investment (localisation and policy push).
  • An in-country final assembly and imminent delivery of a tactical transport is a tangible step in expanding regional tactical airlift production and sustainment capability, with parallels to other recent tactical-transport delivery programmes (tactical transport deliveries).
