| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Boeing has a long history in India, beginning with its 707 commercial jetliner that was acquired by Air India in 1960. The wait for successful military orders took much longer, but Boeing has done its homework well to come out on top for important contracts for the Indian Air Force (IAF) and Indian Navy (IN). Importantly for Boeing, the orders all have the potential for repeat orders, ensuring that Boeing will be busy well into the next decade. Boeing's success in the Indian market is also a huge opportunity for Indian aerospace and software companies as Boeing purchases goods and services from more than 23,000 suppliers across the world worth more than USD 50 billion each year. The company's global supply chain contributes more than 60 per cent of the value of its products. Boeing delivered 601 commercial airplanes and supported the delivery of 144 production military aircraft in 2012! |
