This is possible because the fighter is designed for ease of maintainability and offers impressive durability,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n<p> On the P-8I, Garcia said there is clearly a need for long-range maritime surveillance and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) requirements in the Indian Ocean Region. The P-8Is have demonstrated an excellent record in supporting the Navy&#8217;s missions and have surpassed 35,000 flight hours since induction in 2013, he said.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cThe P-8I programme has resulted in significant industrial benefits and jobs for companies in India that are now part of the Boeing supply chain which are manufacturing complex parts and components for BDS products, including the P-8.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;In addition to supporting the P-8I with sustainment and training, we are also planning a 60,000 sq. ft. Training Support and Data Handling Centre set up at INS Rajali, Arakkonam, with a secondary centre at Naval Institute of Aeronautical Technology (NIAT), Kochi. The secondary centre was recently handed over to the Indian Navy,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> Maria Laine, vice president of Boeing&#8217;s International Business Development, said that India is one of Boeing&#8217;s enduring partners where &#8220;we have made strategic investments and will continue to do so in the future&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p> The company has 3,500 employees in India and more than 7,000 people working with its supply chain partners.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We are proud to support the many missions of the Indian armed forces that operate multiple Boeing aircraft&#8230;,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;We&#8217;ve made the latest investment outside of India in Boeing&#8217;s India Engineering and Technology Center at USD 200 million and have a wholly-owned engineering and technology campus with future avionics manufacturing and assembly capability that is coming up in Bengaluru,\u201d Laine told PTI.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cIn support of Aatmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India, Boeing sources over USD 1 billion from India and Boeing&#8217;s Indian supply chain partners are exporting products made in India for the global aerospace market,\u201d he said in response to a question.<\/p>\n<p> \u201cOver 275 Indian suppliers deliver components, parts and complex assemblies for Boeing&#8217;s commercial and defence aircraft, including the F\/A-18, F-15, P-8, Apache, Chinook, C-17 and T-7,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p> Tata Boeing Aerospace Limited (TBAL), the joint venture between Boeing and Tata Advanced Systems, has been producing aero-structures for Boeing&#8217;s AH-64 Apache helicopter and recently delivered its 140th AH-64 Apache fuselage from its 14,000 square metres state-of-the-art facility in Hyderabad.<\/p>\n<p> TBAL is also manufacturing 737 Vertical Fin structures, a complex structural part, on a new production line will utilize cutting-edge robotics and automation, said the Boeing official.<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;On the defence side, we are delivering services that ensure high availability of our customers&#8217; fleets at competitive costs. We work with the Indian Air Force and the Indian Navy to provide operational capability and readiness for Boeing aircraft,&#8221; Laine added.
