The organisers of Aviation India Summit 2025 are proud to announce that Jürgen Westermeier, the newly appointed President and Managing Director, Airbus India and South Asia, will feature on the opening ‘Leaders Debate’ at the Summit on 29 October.
“It’s a thrilling time to be in India. India is rising not just as a major aerospace market, but also as a critical industrial base,” said Westermeier.
“The Indian supply chain provides a unique combination of competence and competitiveness. Airbus is leveraging these unique strengths of India to support its global aircraft and helicopter programmes and, in the true ‘Make in India’ spirit of symbiotic growth, is also developing a holistic and modern aerospace ecosystem in the country across all dimensions: assembly, manufacturing, engineering, MRO, leasing, and human capital development,” said Westermeier.
Mark Brown, Managing Director of organizer Times Aerospace Events (MESA), said: “We are honoured that Westermeier will conduct one of his first public engagements in India at the Aviation Summit. It is clear that Airbus is playing a leadership role in bringing India’s aviation growth aspirations to reality.”
The 2nd edition of Aviation India & South Asia Summit & Exhibition 2025 is organized by Times Aerospace Events (MESA) alongside joint venture partner, the MRO Association of India.
Under the event headline: “Shaping the pathway for Indian aviation”, the Summit promises to be one of the most significant gatherings of the commercial air transport community and ecosystem this year in India and builds upon the success of the launch summit in 2024 which attracted 582 delegates. It is expected the 2025 edition will attract over 800 delegates and some 50 exhibitors.
Among the senior names from India’s aviation industry taking part in the Summit are Campbell Wilson, Pieter Elbers, Vinay Dube, Salil Gupte, Shri Vipin Kumar, Videh Kumar Jaipuriar and Hari Marar.
Aviation India Summit 2025 builds on the formula of the successful Times Aerospace Aviation Africa events, which began in Dubai in 2015 and have been held in Rwanda, Egypt, Nigeria, Ethiopia and South Africa.
