FPT Elevates Ties with Airbus as Global Strategic IT Partner PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Global IT corporation FPT has signed a new multi-year Master Supply Agreement (MSA) with Airbus, officially designating FPT as a Global Strategic IT Partner of the aerospace giant. The signing ceremony, held at the Vietnam–France Business Forum in Paris, was witnessed by Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh during his official visit to France. This agreement signifies a major step forward in the partnership, placing FPT among Airbus' premier global IT vendors and enabling FPT to contribute to Airbus' IT projects in critical areas like customer services, big data, and cloud software engineering. The strengthened relationship builds on over a decade of productive collaboration. Since 2017, FPT has been instrumental in launching Airbus' Skywise ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. Skywise is an open aviation data platform that integrates data from airlines and offers customized training programs for its users. In 2023, Airbus narrowed down its list of strategic IT partners, with FPT emerging as one of the few trusted entities. "FPT has been a driving force in fostering collaboration between Vietnam and leading European enterprises, particularly in the IT sector," stated Madam Chu Thi Thanh Ha, Chairwoman of FPT Software and FPT Corporation. "Our partnership with Airbus is a clear demonstration of this dedication. With a robust network of over 100 aviation partners and a highly skilled global workforce, FPT remains committed to supporting Airbus and advancing the digital transformation of the aviation industry." "This milestone underscores the immense potential of our partnership with FPT," noted Wouter Van Wersch, Executive Vice President International at Airbus. "It reflects Airbus' confidence in FPT's technical proficiency and maturity, and our belief in their capability to deliver high-quality solutions for our global projects." FPT has established itself as a trusted technology partner in the global aviation industry, collaborating with over 100 airlines, airports, cargo operators, and aircraft manufacturers in Europe, the U.S., and the Asia-Pacific region. Beyond its partnership with Airbus, FPT has recently teamed up with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to investigate advanced aviation technologies for the future. FPT's footprint in the French market has grown significantly in recent years. In 2023, the company acquired a majority stake in the French IT consulting firm AOSIS, bolstering its local service delivery capabilities. To further integrate into the French business landscape, FPT created the FPT Francophone Association to develop a strong French-speaking talent pool. Additionally, FPT was the sole Vietnamese company represented at the Choose France Summit in Paris and participated in the inaugural Vietnam–France Leaders Forum in Hanoi, emphasizing its role in enhancing bilateral business relations.
