On 25 September 2025, Air Chief Marshal Piboon Vorravanpreecha, Managing Director of Thai Aviation Industries Co., Ltd. (TAI), and Mr. Jean-Brice Dumont, Head of Air Power at Airbus Defence and Space, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen further cooperation in maintenance and operational support for the Royal Thai Air Force.

The agreement covers in-country support for the Airbus A330 MRTT+ and builds on the existing collaboration for the C295 transport aircraft. This expansion aligns with Thailand’s “Made in Thailand” policy and supports the country’s defence industrial growth.

“Through our partnership with TAI, Airbus is committed to transferring skills, know-how, and technology to further develop aerospace capabilities in Thailand.” – Jean-Brice Dumont, Head of Air Power, Airbus Defence and Space
