Airbus is to open a new subsidiary in Thailand that will produce flight operations data for use by its airline customers worldwide. Airbus Flight Operations Services is set to begin operations early in 2015 and initially will employ 30 people, most of whom will be recruited locally. The new facility in Bangkok will produce electronic versions of the standard Airbus flight operations manuals that can be applied for electronic flight bag use. It will also help individual airlines to customize their operational databases.
