Airbus today said it has appointed Anand E Stanley, a veteran leader in the global aerospace and defence industry, as President and Managing Director of Airbus India.

He succeeds Pierre de Bausset, whose future role will be announced by the company in due course.

Pierre and Stanley would work through a transition before the new appointment takes effect on October 1, 2018, the company said in a release.

Stanley will pursue the consolidation of Airbus businesses in India with a view to further reinforcing the position of the group for long-term success and growth in India, it added.

“Anand will successfully leverage the large fleet of our products flying in India, our support and services capability, the quality of our engineering team and the deep links that have been forged with local aerospace and defence industrial partners,” Airbus Executive Vice President Strategy& International Patrick de Castelbajac said.

Stanley served as Global Executive Vice President, Strategy, at The Linde Group prior to joining Airbus.
