Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TAI) held talks with Canadian companies to set up partnerships.
TAI Director General Muharren Dortkasli, who accompanied Turkish State Minister Zafer Caglayan during his visit to Canada, held meetings with Canada's leading aviation companies Bombardier and Goodrich.
During his talks with executives of the two Canadian companies, Dortkasli took up cooperation opportunities, and conveyed some offers.
Speaking to A.A, Dortkasli said that Bombardier was one of the companies which could meet the regional passenger plane need of Turkish Airlines (THY), thus, TAI was looking for a partnership opportunity with Bombardier.
Noting that Turkish market was growing each day, Dortkasli said that TAI wanted to produce planes by itself or together with a company by 2023.
We target to design and produce our own passenger and civilian planes by the 100th anniversary of the foundation of Republic, he noted.
Dortkasli said that TAI was also talking with other companies besides the Canadian ones, adding that a partner would be more beneficial in regional passenger plane production in commercial aspect.
Meanwhile, Goodrich, global supplier of systems and services to the aerospace and defense industries, made an offer to TAI to work together in helicopter production. Goodrich executives said that they envisioned that 5,500 helicopters would be produced in the world in the next decade, and Goodrich could cooperate with TAI in this issue. Officials from Goodrich will visit Turkey in December to discuss the issue.
TAI, the center of technology in design, development, manufacturing, integration of aerospace systems, modernization and after sales support in Turkey, was established in 1984.
Located in Ankara, TAI's aircraft facilities, which cover an area of 5 million square meters with an industrial facility of over 200,000 square meters under roof, are furnished with high technology machinery and equipment that provide extensive manufacturing capabilities.
Furthermore, in order to develop a ground for defence-aerospace skills, and create synergy among small to medium enterprises and universities, a significant part of engineering-based activities are conducted at the Techno Park located in the Middle East Technical University.
The quality system of the Company meets the stringent world standards including NATO AQAP-2110, ISO-9001:2000 and AS EN 9100. TAI has a total of 3000 employees, 1200 of whom are engineers. The shareholders of the Company are; the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries and Turkish Aeronautical Association.
