Celestica Malaysia has been selected to carry out the complete manufacturing, assembly and final testing of airborne displays for the latest generation of Thales’ IFE system.
This Pre-Industrial Collaboration Program Agreement (Pre-ICP Agreement) is a result of a thorough negotiation between the Technology Depository Agency (TDA) and Thales for the sub-contracting project.
Thales and Celestica will deliver 27% content localisation by 2021, and 32% by 2023, but the Government of Malaysia through TDA hopes Thalés would increase the ratio to 60% by 2023.
