Description
Indra Park Air work with customers all over the globe to make air travel safer. For over 50 years we've been one of the leading producers of VHF and UHF radios, providing the vital link between the ground and the air for passenger, freight and military aircraft.
The reasons behind our success are simple and won't change. First, we work harder for the customer than the rest. We take time to truly know their needs and create the right product for them.

At Indra Park Air we stay the best by looking to the future - to new requirements and new possibilities. A radio remains a radio but we never stop thinking about how we can improve it, how we make it and how it can offer more to our customers.
