The world's leading aircraft engine maker expects to be in the thick of both India's commercial and military aviation growth
GE Aviation, General Electric's aviation arm, which will soon become an independent company, GE Aerospace, has big plans to ramp up its Indian operations.
The company is seeking to consolidate its position as the engine supplier of choice as India’s commercial airliners place record orders for hundreds of planes with demand for air travel soaring in the subcontinent post Covid.
GE Aerospace, whose Indian engineering team already plays a central role in developing its engines, including those that go on the larger, ‘wide-body’ aircraft, expects that India’s airlines will also buy more of such aircraft as international travel picks up too.
