Building on more than a century of relations
with China, Safran is now a major player
in the Chinese civil aviation and security
markets. We have established a presence in
all segments, from airplane and helicopter
engines to aircraft landing and braking
systems, and from identification to detection
systems.
Our presence in China is anchored in
long-term cooperation. We work closely
with both partners and customers, an
approach that guides all subcontracting and
production operations, as well as our joint
ventures with AVIC and COMAC. We are also
fully committed to supporting the training
of Chinese engineers, as reflected in
strong partnerships with schools including
the Ecole Centrale of Beijing, the SinoEuropean Institute of Aviation Engineering,
the Civil Aviation University of China and,
most recently, Shanghai Jiao Tong.
Safran is working hand in hand with
Chinese manufacturers covering the whole
spectrum of industrial activities to shape
the future of the aviation and security
industries.

SAFRAN’S
MARKET POSITION
IN CHINA
Safran is a major player in the Chinese civil aviation and security sectors, largely based on a sustained
and balanced cooperation policy and a local presence in all market segments. Over the last 40 years,
Safran has formed strong ties with the major players in the Chinese aviation industry and this mutual
trust has been rewarded by several strategic partnerships. Today, Safran has 20 entities and more
than 1,800 people operating in China.

COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT
Safran is heavily involved in Chinese airline
operations, mainly as one of the parent
companies of CFM International, the 50/50
joint venture between Snecma (Safran)
and GE that makes the CFM56® and LEAP®
turbofan engines. From sales & marketing

services, Safran provides broad local support
to the Chinese civil aviation sector. More than
3,900 CFM56 and LEAP engines were in
service or on order in China at May 31, 2015.
Safran also calls on local industrial partners
to make a variety of engine parts, including
low-pressure turbine shafts for the CFM565B and -7B engines. In partnership with
Air China, Safran has created a center
dedicated to CFM56 maintenance, repair
and overhaul (MRO).
Safran companies Aircelle, Messier-BugattiDowty and Labinal Power Systems provide
a wide range of systems and equipment for
the single-aisle and widebody commercial
jets operated by China’s leading airlines,
including engine nacelles and thrust
reversers, landing gears and wiring. Safran’s
electronics specialist Sagem provides aircraft
condition monitoring systems (ACMS) and
analysis ground stations (AGS) to bring
Chinese airlines to improve fleet operation
and management to the highest standard.
More than four out of ten commercial
planes in China are fitted with landing
gears and braking systems from MessierBugatti-Dowty. A MRO center in Singapore
supports these landing gears on Airbus and
Boeing jetliners. Messier-Bugatti-Dowty
also supplies wheels and carbon brakes
for the Airbus jetliners deployed by the four
national airlines and eight private carriers.
HELICOPTERS
Safran has worked closely with AVIC
(China Aviation Industry Corporation)
for some 40 years, through complete
or partial production under license of
the Turbomeca Arriel 1 and Arriel 2C
helicopter engines and Sagem autopilots
for the Z9/H425 helicopter. Turbomeca is
also co-developing the WZ16 turboshaft
engine with Dong’an to power the
new AC352 helicopter. Over half of the
Chinese helicopter fleet is powered by
Turbomeca turboshaft engine. Moreover,
hundreds of helicopters in China use
Sagem equipment (autopilots and flight
control systems), either imported or
license-built in the country.
SECURITY
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Morpho, the Group’s security specialist, provides
biometric identification systems for Chinese
government, immigration agencies and police
forces. Morpho’s automated fingerprint
identification systems (AFIS) are deployed in
the Tianjin municipality, Ningxia region and
Changzhou. Morpho has also provided with
facial recognition systems the police agencies
in Shanghai, Tianjin, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Jiangxi,
Guangzhou and Wenzhou.
BORDER CONTROL
Morpho, in cooperation with the ministry of
public security, also plays a predominant
role in the market for entry-exit biometric
solutions.
AIRPORTS
Morpho has worked closely with major
airports in China for nearly 20 years
to install advanced explosive detection
systems. Used to screen passengers,
carry-on bags and checked luggage,
these systems are designed to meet
evolving threats and international security
regulations, while handling fast-growing
passenger traffic.
Morpho now equips over 80 airports in
China, and has set up a nationwide network
with local partners and suppliers to handle
sales and support services.
