The facility will support Airbus A320, A330, A350, and A380 aircraft families operating across India and neighboring countries. This marks the first dedicated Airbus radome repair center in the South Asian region.
What Is A Radome
A radome is the protective structure located at the nose of an aircraft. It shields radar and antenna systems from weather, bird strikes, and environmental damage while allowing radar signals to pass through without interruption. Because of its critical role, radome maintenance requires specialized expertise and certification.
Why Nagpur Was Chosen For The Airbus Indamer Radome Repair Hub
Nagpur has emerged as one of India’s most important aviation and MRO hubs. The city already hosts major aerospace and aircraft maintenance facilities and benefits from its central location, making it an ideal destination for aviation support services. The region’s growing aerospace ecosystem played a major role in Airbus’ decision.
Boost For India’s MRO Industry
The new hub is expected to significantly strengthen India’s aircraft maintenance capabilities. Until now, many airlines had to send damaged radomes overseas for repairs. The Nagpur facility will allow repairs to be completed within India, reducing costs and turnaround times for operators.
Airbus Sees India As A Key Aviation Market
Jürgen Westermeier, President and Managing Director of Airbus India and South Asia, described the agreement as a major milestone in Airbus’ efforts to build a strong aerospace ecosystem in India. He noted that localizing critical maintenance capabilities aligns with the Government of India’s Make in India vision and supports aviation self-reliance.
Indamer Technics Highlights Engineering Excellence
Prajay Patel, Director of Indamer Technics, said Airbus’ selection is a strong endorsement of the company’s engineering and technical capabilities. He emphasized that the facility will maintain Airbus’ strict quality and certification standards while helping position India as a world-class aerospace MRO destination.
Services To Be Offered At The New Airbus Indamer Radome Repair Hub

Benefits For Airlines Across South Asia
The facility will serve both Indian and regional airlines operating Airbus aircraft. With repairs available closer to home, carriers can reduce maintenance delays, improve aircraft availability, and lower logistics costs associated with overseas repair work.
Strengthening India’s Aerospace Supply Chain
Industry experts believe the project will further strengthen India’s role in the global aerospace supply chain. The investment supports the country’s ambition of becoming a major aviation maintenance center while creating opportunities for skilled aerospace professionals.
