Strengthened industrial positioning by 2030

BT2i affirms its positioning as a Tier 1 industrial company with a diversified portfolio, with a business breakdown of 65% in Tier 1 and 35% in Tier 2.

The Group also aims to strengthen its leading position in the medium-rate programs segment, from 5 to 200 aircraft per year, by capitalizing on two major strengths: responsiveness and agility.

This ambition relies in particular on a strong industrialization capacity and on the Group's ability to offer derisking solutions for High Runners.
