Airbus opened a new technology centre in Bengaluru on 6 March 2026, expanding its engineering, digital, customer services, and procurement operations in India. The facility, named the Airbus India Technology Centre, is designed to accommodate about 5,000 employees and will support a range of engineering and technology programmes linked to Airbus’ global operations.
The new campus is intended to support the company’s engineering work, digital programmes, procurement activities, and customer services functions while providing capacity for future hiring as operations expand in the region. The company said the site will serve as a central hub for several Airbus programmes in India.
Airbus said the centre will support engineering and digital work linked to aircraft and helicopter programmes while also providing procurement and operational support across its global value chain. The facility also includes a dedicated customer services centre intended to assist Airbus customers in India and overseas with maintenance, technical support, and operational services.
“This centre will allow us to scale existing technological competencies and innovation ecosystems while also addressing the customer services and procurement dimensions of our Make in India mission. It ensures that Indian expertise continues to be woven into every stage of our global value chain,” said Jürgen Westermeier, President and Managing Director of Airbus in India and South Asia.
Airbus said the Bengaluru campus is its largest engineering and digital centre outside Europe and forms a key part of its “Make in India” strategy. The company stated that the facility will function as a hub across engineering, digital transformation, customer services, and procurement activities.
The company also reported a significant increase in its sourcing from India. Airbus said its annual procurement from the country has grown from about USD 500 million in 2019 to more than USD 1.5 billion currently, and the company expects sourcing to exceed USD 2 billion before the end of the decade based on current plans.
The campus also houses a customer services unit that provides tailored support programmes, flight hour services, and maintenance-related technical assistance for Airbus operators worldwide. Airbus said the new site will allow Indian teams to contribute more extensively to engineering, digital systems, procurement, and customer support across the company’s global operations.
Airbus is an aerospace manufacturer that designs, produces, and supports commercial aircraft, helicopters, defence platforms, and space systems, with engineering, manufacturing, and services operations across multiple countries.
