AIA kicks off India trade mission

Arlington, Va: About 30 representatives of Aerospace Industries Association(AIA) member companies arrived in Delhi, India and began six days of meetings and outreach Monday in the association's first-ever trade mission to the country.
AIA Executive Vice President of Defense and International Affairs Mark Esper is heading the delegation, which includes stops in Delhi and Bangalore.
The mission comes as more U.S. aerospace companies are looking to India as a possible market for both defense and civil aviation products.
The trip includes meetings with Indian commerce and defense officials.
Participants will also meet with U.S. State Department and Commerce Department representatives and the American Chamber of Commerce in India.
The majority of participants are AIA Supplier Management Council members who do not have independent international outreach.
India has been opening to U.S. aerospace products in the last decade after relations improved following the end of the Cold War and cooperation on the war on terror.
