Though it has yet to be officially inaugurated, the brand new avionics campus that the Thales group has built at Mérignac, near the French city of Bordeaux, is already home to some 2,600 staff and has been operational for several months. The level of employment at the new facility will soon reach 3,000 people, with most of them being engineers involved in both civil and military programs covering a wide array of cockpit and cabin technologies. “This is the center of all our competencies, platforms, critical systems and next generation avionics,” said Peter Hitchcock, Thales vice president and commercial aviation managing director at the new Mérignac campus.
