A leading global aerospace company, Boeing has inaugurated its inaugural distribution centre in India, located in Khurja, Uttar Pradesh. Spanning 36,000 square feet, the warehouse is dedicated to assisting regional aviation customers in optimising fleet utilisation.
In a statement, the aerospace company emphasised that the establishment of this new site aligns with its ongoing dedication to broaden its footprint in the country, providing an efficient, cost-effective, and localized solution.
"The Boeing India Distribution Center illustrates Boeing's commitment to supporting the growth of this market, aligned with the government's Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision. This center will support the emergent needs of spare parts for Boeing aircraft in India, reducing lead times, improving availability, and supporting the MRO industry here," said Salil Gupte, president, of Boeing India. The new India location is one of eight distribution centers around the world.
"The India Distribution Center represents another significant step forward in Boeing's strategy to provide parts and services when and where customers need them," said William Ampofo, vice president, Parts and Distribution Services and Supply Chain, Boeing Global Services. "It also represents our commitment to delivering efficient, cost-effective solutions for Boeing's commercial airplane customers in the region."
Less than a year after its announcement at Aero India 2023, the aerospace company has realized its investment in the distribution center. The inaugural shipment of parts to customers took place in December 2023. Strategically located along India's Eastern Freight Corridor, the distribution center is in close proximity to Delhi and the forthcoming Jewar airport.
