Anand Stanley, president of Airbus Asia-Pacific, described Malaysia as a key part of the company’s strategic approach in the region.
“[Malaysia] is our third-largest market in the region after China and India. What makes this partnership unique is the breadth of collaboration, from commercial fleet modernisation and defence cooperation to local industrial participation and skills development. Parts ‘Made in Malaysia’ are flying on nearly every Airbus commercial aircraft in production today,” Stanley said.
Currently, there are nearly 150 Airbus commercial aircraft in operation in Malaysia, with approximately 400 additional units on order.
The company has a significant industrial presence in Malaysia, including the Sepang Aircraft Engineering maintenance, repair, and overhaul centre, as well as a regional helicopter training hub in Subang.
