FPT Becomes Airbus’ Global Strategic Technology Partner

FPT and Airbus have taken their decade-long collaboration to new heights by signing a Master Services Agreement (MSA). This agreement solidifies FPT’s position as a Global Strategic Technology Partner for the world’s leading aerospace company. The signing ceremony took place during the Vietnam-France Business Forum in Paris, witnessed by the Prime Minister during his official visit to the French Republic.

The MSA marks a significant milestone in the partnership between the two companies, recognizing FPT as one of Airbus’s leading global technology partners. It opens doors for FPT to engage in Airbus’s global IT projects in critical areas such as customer services, big data, and software development in cloud computing.

FPT and Airbus have enjoyed a successful partnership for over a decade. For instance, in 2017, FPT was one of the first IT partners to accompany Airbus in deploying the Skywise ecosystem in the Asia-Pacific region. Skywise is Airbus’s open data platform in aviation, enabling data integration from airlines and customized training program development for users. In 2023, as Airbus streamlined its list of strategic IT partners, FPT retained its position as a strategic partner for this leading global aerospace corporation.

“Since its establishment, FPT has actively fostered cooperation between top Vietnamese and European businesses, especially in the IT sector. The partnership between FPT and Airbus is a testament to that commitment. With a network of over 100 partners in the aviation industry and a highly skilled global technology team, FPT will continue to accompany Airbus and contribute to the digital transformation of the aviation industry,” said Chu Thi Thanh Ha, Chairman of FPT Software, FPT Corporation.

“This milestone underscores the growing potential in our partnership and recognizes FPT’s solid technological capabilities that have strengthened over time. Airbus continues to trust FPT as a reliable and highly capable partner,” said Wouter Van Wersch, Executive Vice President of Airbus.

FPT has solidified its position as a trusted technology partner in the global aviation industry, boasting a vast network of collaborations with over 100 airlines, airports, cargo carriers, and aircraft manufacturers. In addition to Airbus, FPT has partnered with the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) to explore next-generation aviation technologies.

In the French market, FPT is also actively expanding its operations and collaborations. In 2023, FPT acquired a majority stake in AOSIS, an IT consulting company based in France, thereby enhancing its service capabilities in the region. To foster cultural and professional connections, the FPT Francophone Community was established to develop French-speaking talent. Recently, FPT was the only Vietnamese enterprise to participate in the “Choose France” Summit in Paris and the Vietnam-France Leadership Forum in Hanoi.
