Deutsche Aircraft, in partnership with key Indian firms including Aerospace India Association, Cyient, Dynamatic Technologies, and SASMOS HET, unveiled a strategic roadmap to boost regional aviation connectivity at the Wings of Opportunity Summit on 5 November 2025 in New Delhi.

The summit emphasized five themes: expanding access to underserved regions, sustainable aviation, fleet modernization, collaborative manufacturing under Make in India, and infrastructure investment. This Indo-German collaboration aims to modernize India’s regional fleet, enhance sustainable aviation technologies, and position India as a critical hub in global aerospace manufacturing and innovation, reinforcing strategic aviation security and connectivity ambitions crucial for economic growth and regional integration. The initiative aligns with India’s expanding aviation market and national connectivity goals.
