BAE Systems is in talks with India-based aerospace company Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd to further their partnership and create new aerospace projects for its clients worldwide, the Indo-Asian News Service reports.
The news agency reports BAE executives met with HAL Chairman R.K. Tyagi in Bangalore last week to explore new areas of collaboration such as performance-based contracting.
BAE Chairman Dick Olver and CEO Ian King led a contingent that visited HAL’s aerospace facilities, where that company manufactures BAE’s Hawk jet trainers for the Indian Air Force.
“Our business relationship with HAL should go beyond Hawk to work on new projects in 17 countries the world over where we have presence,” Olver told the news agency.
