Airbus has unveiled its inaugural Make-In-India C295 Military Aircraft, scheduled for delivery in September 2026. This initiative includes the complete production, assembly, and upkeep of 40 out of 56 aircraft within India

Airbus to hire 2,000 engineers in India within two years

Airbus has unveiled its inaugural Make-In-India C295 Military Aircraft, scheduled for delivery in September 2026. This initiative includes the complete production, assembly, and upkeep of 40 out of 56 aircraft within India

Airbus, the global aerospace giant, has unveiled ambitious plans to bolster its workforce in India by hiring an additional 2,000 engineers within the next two years. This move aims to elevate their total workforce in India to 5,000 employees. R&eacute;mi Maillard, President of Airbus India and Managing Director of South Asia, emphasized that the company views India as a "talent hub," going beyond its role as a market.
To solidify this commitment, Airbus recently inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) in Vadodara. The signing ceremony was attended by the presence of Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The primary objective of this MoU is to introduce a new engineering course tailored for the aerospace sector.
Maillard highlighted Airbus's dedication to fostering the aerospace ecosystem in India and recognized the importance of investing in human capital development. The collaboration with Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya is expected to nurture a robust pipeline of skilled professionals ready to cater to the burgeoning aerospace sector's needs.
In response to a question from TOI about the company's hiring strategy for Indian engineers, Maillard stated, "As of today, we employ more than 3,000 engineers in our design and digital centers. By 2025, we will exceed 5,000. We are progressing rapidly because we believe in India's blend of competency and competitiveness."
Maillard announced that the first Make-In-India C295 Military Aircraft is slated for delivery in September 2026. Airbus has already secured a contract for 56 C295 aircraft with the Indian Air Force, with 40 of them set to be fully manufactured, assembled, and maintained within India. The remaining 16 aircraft will arrive in a fly-away condition from Spain.

The plane successfully conducted a 3-hour flight on May 5 in Seville, Spain.

Airbus said that this was a major step towards delivery of the plane before the end of 2023.
The Indian government approved the C295 deal with Airbus and Space SA in 2021. India will get 16 aircraft in "fly-away" condition, while 40 will be made domestically.

He accused the Shinde government of not being serious about the state's progress and criticised it for "failing to protect the state's interests".

Rs 2200 crore Tata-Airbus aircraft facility in Gujarat: Aaditya slams Maha govt

He accused the Shinde government of not being serious about the state's progress and criticised it for "failing to protect the state's interests".

With the announcement about Tata-Airbus C-295 transport aircraft project coming up in Gujarat, former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray on Thursday slammed the Eknath Shinde-led government and asked it why the project that was supposed to come up in Maharashtra went to the neighbouring state.
He accused the Shinde government of not being serious about the state's progress and criticised it for "failing to protect the state's interests".
The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Maharashtra, however, countered him saying that the previous Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government did not do anything to follow up on the proposed project.
A consortium of Airbus and the Tata group will manufacture C-295 transport aircraft for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in Vadodara in Gujarat, the Defence ministry said on Thursday, announcing the Rs 22,000 crore project where a military plane will be produced in India for the first time by a private company. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Sunday lay the foundation stone for the manufacturing facility of the European defence major and the Indian conglomerate, in what is billed as a major boost to the domestic aerospace sector.
In September this year, CM Shinde's loyalist Uday Samant, who is currently the Industries Minister, had said that the Tata-Airbus aircraft manufacturing project would come up near Nagpur in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.
Speaking to reporters here in Shirur tehsil in Pune district, Thackeray asked, "Will the state government give answers to why these projects are going out? This is the fourth project which has gone away from Maharashtra since the traitor government has come to power in the state. They always boast that they have a double-engine government, but although one engine of the central government is working, the state government's engine has failed." Thackeray was in Shirur to inspect the losses that farmers have suffered due to heavy rains.
He added that the previous MVA government led by his father Uddhav Thackeray had managed to bring investment to the state even during the pandemic, but this government has failed to do so.
"CM Shinde goes to Delhi on a regular basis. But he goes there for himself and not for Maharashtra. I never heard him saying that the Tata-Airbus project should come to Maharashtra. Projects including Vedanta Foxconn, Bulk Drug Park, Medical Device Park, and now Tata Airbus have gone to Gujarat," he alleged.
He said he was not sad because the project was going to some other state. "The question is why is it not coming to our state. Why this new government is not able to bring projects to the state? In the last few days, CMs from other states are coming to Maharashtra and interacting with the local industrialists here to seek investments, but our CM goes to Delhi, and he does so for himself," he said.
The Worli MLA said that big and small projects used to come to Maharashtra because of merit. "But today, despite having the merit, these projects are going to the other state," he said.
Due to the current state government, Maharashtra has lost one more project. The state government is not at all serious about Maharashtra's progress, Thackeray alleged.
He also asked the state government to immediately announce a wet drought in the state and provide help to farmers.
He visited farmers in Malthan village area in Shirur tehsil and inspected the crops that suffered due to the heavy rains.
"We have given a slogan - 'Give or leave', which means the state government should either provide help to farmers or step down," he said.
Countering his allegations, BJP legislator Praveen Darekar said, "The deal (for Tata-Airbus project) was inked a year back, and one should find out who was in power at that time. The previous government did not do anything on it, including no correspondence with the Union government to facilitate this project in the state. The opposition should not make such baseless allegations." Maharashtra BJP chief spokesperson Keshav Upadhye said, "PM Modi made an announcement of 'Aatmanirbhar Bharat', which was followed by the Airbus Defence and Space S.A. Spain entering into an agreement to supply 56 C-295 MW transport aircraft and it was approved by cabinet committee on security." On September 24 last year, the defence ministry also signed a contract with the Airbus Defence and Space S.A. for acquisition of aircraft with associated equipment, he claimed.
"Despite so much development, the then MVA government did not send a single letter to the Centre. That government did not even follow up the issue with the Union government. The MVA leaders should avoid diverting the attention despite being aware of the facts," Upadhye said.
"I challenge them to release a letter they had addressed to Tata-Airbus in the past," he said.
Last month, a blame-game had erupted in Maharashtra following the announcement that a joint venture semiconductor project of the Indian conglomerate Vedanta and Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn, proposed to be set up near Pune city earlier, would come up in Gujarat.
The Uddhav Thackeray-led faction of the Shiv Sena, the NCP and the Congress, all constituents of the MVA, have sought to corner the Shinde-BJP government over the Rs 1.54 lakh crore plant going to Gujarat.

A plane's engine caught fire during take-off. In another flight, smoke filled the cabin while it was in the air. Even more cases of cracks in windshields, malfunctioning equipment, and radars not working. With 8 such cases in just 18 days, SpiceJet's bad streak has caused alarm among flight passengers.
The first case was reported on 19 June when a bird hit caused an engine fire in a Patna-to-Delhi flight. The plane had to do an emergency landing in Patna soon after take-off. On the same day, a Delhi-Jabalpur flight faced cabin pressurisation issues, and had to return.
Then, on 24 June, a fuselage door warning lit up in a Guwahati-Kolkata flight soon after take-off, and the journey was abandoned. The next day, the same issue occurred in a Patna-Guwahati flight, and the plane stopped midway in its take-off roll.
On 2 July, smoke was seen in a Delhi-Jabalpur flight while it was at an altitude of around 5,000 feet. The plane had to return to the national capital. Then, on 5 July, a Delhi-to-Dubai flight had to be diverted to Karachi in Pakistan due to a malfunctioning fuel indicator.
On the same day, a SpiceJet flight did an emergency landing in Mumbai due to cracks in its windshield at an altitude of 23,000 feet. Yet another incident took place on the same day, with a SpiceJet freighter aircraft headed to China returning to Kolkata as its weather radar was not working.
5 July was a scary day, with flights of other airlines also facing issues. A Vistara plane suffered engine failure after landing in Delhi from Bangkok. Also, an IndiGo Raipur-to-Indore flight had a problem of smoke in the cabin after landing.
India's aviation sector had seen a similar spate of incidents a few years ago. In 2018-19, engine failures plagued certain planes of IndiGo and GoAir. Airbus A320neo aircraft with Pratt & Whitney engines had faced technical difficulties. IndiGo reportedly saw over 20 instances of engine malfunctions over the course of a few months. In March 2018, India's civil aviation regulator DGCA had grounded over 10 such aircraft.
After the latest spate of incidents, the DGCA sent a show-cause notice to SpiceJet, saying that the airline failed to "establish safe, efficient, and reliable air services". Commenting on the notice, SpiceJet's CMD said that the incidents reported were minor in nature and not unique, but the airline will be "doubly careful".

As technology develops, the world shrinks. Making that statement true, while also making history, a commercial Airbus plane an A340, successfully landed in Antarctica.  The A340, operated by Hi Fly, took off from Cape Town, South Africa before flying 4,630 km to Antarctica, achieving an aviation first by successfully landing on a runway made of blue glacial ice.
Special accommodations were made to help the flight, like the runway had to have special grooves carved into it to allow for more friction and pilots also had to wear special eye gear due to the glare coming off the polar ice.
