Yannick Assouad, CEO of Latécoère, said, “I am proud to open a new chapter for Latécoère’s development in India, alongside two prestigious names in aerospace, Dassault Aviation and Thales. Latécoère continues to evolve in line with the ‘Transformation 2020’ plan and actively pursue its strategy to optimise its industrial infrastructure and ensure operational excellence and quality for all customers.”

At the inception, the manufacturing plant will employ 70 people while it will have a workforce of over 300 people by 2022.
