Over the past 20 years, the aerospace industry in Mexico has consolidated in key regions like Chihuahua, Queretaro, Jalisco, Nuevo Leon, Baja California and Sonora.

Today, this industry consists of more than 300 aerospace international companies in Mexico, with key OEMs like Honeywell, Cessna, Beechcraft, Textron International, Bombardier and Airbus.

This growth has led to the integration of aerospace clusters, where the industry, government and academia are working together to facilitate growth and transformation into regions with Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) projects and eventually to make a final assembly line and take off of an aircraft fully made in Mexico.
