Provided maintenance services to Aerolíneas Argentinas, strengthening its commercial presence.
Innovation and development of new projects
In addition to its expansion in the maintenance sector, FAdeA continues with strategic projects in production and technological development. Among its main lines of work are:
Production of aircraft, such as the Pampa, intended for advanced training.
Maintenance of military aircraft, such as the Hercules C-130.
Manufacturing of aerostructures for Embraer, through its participation in the KC-390 program.
One of the most promising developments is the IA-100, a training aircraft built with composite material, designed for the training of military and civilian pilots. This two-seater aircraft will be able to incorporate a third seat and will have acrobatic capabilities and FAR-23 certification.
FAdeA has also participated in work for the presidential fleet, consolidating its role within the aircraft maintenance and production market in the region.
FAdeA advances toward greater international projection
With this new certification and its diversification strategy, FAdeA seeks to reduce its state dependency and increase its competitiveness in the aeronautical market.
The authorization for maintenance of Boeing 737 NG and MAX is a key step in its positioning as a service provider for commercial airlines, while it continues to develop innovative projects in the military and civil sectors.
