Historic Facts

Aerospace Manufacturing Industry in Mexico


Aerospace Manufacturing Industry in Mexico: Historic Facts

The first aerospace

company WAS

established in

1969 in Mexicali,

Baja California.

Source: Industrial Development Commission of Mexicali.


Few small and medium

sized companies

followed the trend

during the 80’s, & 90’s.



Most of them established in

the border Mexican state of

Baja California to support

the California (US) based

operations.



The development of

the aerospace industry

has been intensive

during the last 5 years.



The automotive industry

provided the foundations

for the current

development of the

Aerospace industry.



Government Commitment



DURING the last 5 years the aerospace

industry HAS BEEN THE NUMBER ONE

PRIORITY FOR THE MEXICAN

GOVERNMENT.

Aerospace Manufacturing Industry in Mexico: Government Commitment


On September 18th, 2007, the Mexican and

the US Governments signed the BASA

(Bilateral Aviation Safety Agreement).

UNDER THIS AGREEMENT the FAA (Federal

Aviation Agency) recognizes the General

Direction of Civil Aeronautics (MEXICO) as an

agency with full capacity to certify any

product or service of any corporation.



Since 2006 the government

established a 0% import duty

rate for aerospace

components, regardless of the

COUNTRY OF origin.




On March 10, 2009 the

. National Aeronautic

. University had its

. groundbreaking

. event in Queretaro.
