The Paris Air Show has just come to an end, and the orders of airlines from various countries have been unveiled, of which Indian Indigo has become the biggest "hero". The airline placed an order for 500 aircraft in one go, and it was a confirmation of the order, not just a sign of intent. This was the largest order in the history of civil aviation.
Not only that, but another Indian airline, Air India, has also signed a huge order, including 250 Airbus and 290 Boeing airliners. In total, India signed an order for 1,040 passenger aircraft at this air show, of which 750 came from Airbus, becoming Airbus's "God of Wealth".
The sheer volume of this string of orders is staggering, especially considering that orders from other countries are often in the double or even single digits. This not only reflects the booming domestic aviation market, but also highlights the ambitions of IndiGo Air, which despite being a low-cost carrier, has not spared in expanding its fleet and showing determination.
But just as Air India was jubilant, they made a plausible request to Airbus: to build a new production line in India, like China. However, Airbus firmly rejected the offer, saying it was "unnecessary".
The rejection sparked widespread discussion, and speculation was about the reasons behind it. First of all, Airbus established the first final assembly line in Tianjin, China, back in 2008, and has successfully produced 600 A320 passenger aircraft. The experience in building production lines in China is already very rich, and the relevant industrial chain is also quite mature, with a large number of skilled workers.
For Airbus, sourcing parts and hiring workers in China can save a lot of costs, which is a win-win option. And India, although it also has ambitions to pursue aviation technology, is obviously less experienced than China in this regard.
In addition, India's international business reputation cannot be ignored. Many countries have suffered from the lack of trust of Indian companies, which has led to a decline in India's trust in international trade. This huge order from India makes Airbus ambitious, but they also need to be careful in case Indian customers do not pay the balance after delivery.
In short, India's aviation industry is growing rapidly, but more effort is needed to match China's. Cooperation with China is not only profitable for Airbus, but also because of China's position and influence on the international stage. France needs to find a reliable partner, and India may not be the best option, especially given the uncertainty of international politics. So despite India's ambitions, it may take more time and effort to attract Airbus' cooperation like China. The results of this air show are gratifying, but it will take more effort and time to win the trust of Airbus in terms of technology and credibility.
In this context, it remains to be seen whether India will be able to realize its ambitions and use the market to acquire technology. We will continue to monitor this topic over time and look forward to seeing the development of the Indian aviation industry. We hope you will share your thoughts in the comments, and we will continue to explore this topic in the next issue.
