Aviation industry in BDLI welcomes free trade agreement with India

"India is an important and fast-growing market for the German aerospace and defense industry – it's the third-largest aviation market in the world. So, we're really happy about the EU Commission's proactive approach. Our industries see India as a growing sales market with high potential for development and manufacturing. For our companies, especially the supplier industry, which is heavily dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises, open, rules-based trade is a prerequisite for participating in global value chains. We therefore expressly support all initiatives that combine market opening with high standards of safety, sustainability, and technology transfer," emphasizes Marie-Christine von Hahn, CEO of the German Aerospace Industries Association (BDLI).
