Airbus on Tuesday said it has appointed Srinivasan Dwarakanath as Airbus India CEO and Charles Champion, who is EVP Airbus Engineering and member of the company’s Executive Committee, as chairman.
Airbus said it is bringing all its Indian activities under one roof through the creation of a fully owned subsidiary called Airbus India to manage the company’s significant footprint spread across several sites in the country, the French company said in a release. Airbus also has plans to set up a Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) capability which will be established at a later date, it said.
“Building on our significant engineering presence in India, the new company structure will add a strong customer facing element making us more agile, bringing us closer to stakeholders, suppliers, and also to new talent.
