EADS N.V. - IndUs Aviation will market TBM turboprops in India

EADS Socata announced today the signature of an Authorized Sales Representative contract between EADS Socata and IndUS Aviation, to market the family of high-speed turboprop TBM 700/850 in India, and to develop high class customer service and ongoing product support.

IndUS Aviation Inc. is an American-Indian Aircraft manufacturing company with headquarters both in Dallas, Texas and in Bangalore, India. It produces the two-seater trainer Thorp T-211 and runs sales operations on the Indian market. The company was founded in 1994 by Dr. Ram Pattisapu, who migrated to Texas in 1984 where he discovered General aviation and became since a passionate private pilot with 1,400 flight hours and he is the president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) India.

“Our ambition is to provide aviation to people, not just sell airplanes.” explained . Ram Pattisapu. “ We are proud to have been selected by EADS Socata for the representation of the TBM high-speed business turboprop in our country. We were looking forward adding business aircraft marketing to our activities because we are anticipating growing transportation needs in India as fast-paced businesses in our country are slowed by the poor pace, accountability, and infrastructure of India’s ground transportation system. The TBM 850 is ideally tailored to address the business charter market.” concluded Dr. Ram Pattisapu.

“We recognize India as a growing potential market for general aviation and we are particularly glad to welcome IndUS Aviation to position EADS Socata in this country” stated Marc Le Stunff , Deputy VP Sales of EADS Socata. “ We are confident that
Dr Ram Pattisapu’s excellent market knowledge and experience will contribute to sell the first TBM 850 Very Fast Turboprop in India by next year” he added.
