Hyderabad, Mar 16 (IANS): Hyderabad-based AZAD Engineering on Wednesday announced that it had delivered the first consignment of aviation parts to global aerospace major Boeing.

The parts were delivered as part of its contract with Boeing for manufacturing and supplying aviation parts and components.

AZAD, a strategic supplier to Boeing, had won the contract in July 2021. A dedicated facility was set up in record time and it delivered the first batch of aviation parts on February 24, the company said.
