Introductions, definitions, methodology and author details

Aerospace has always been a global business but in the last few years the nature of its globalmanufacturing footprint seems to have changed. Airliner manufacturing is no longer confined to itstraditional heartlands of North America and Europe and states of the former Communist bloc; majorBoeing and Airbus structures are now increasingly made in Mexico, Brazil, Poland and China.

Soon, the USA and Europe will no longer have a stranglehold on the large aircraft market (see tableone below). China is rapidly becoming a formidable competitor. In November 2009, the deputycommander of Chinese People’s Liberation Air Force (PLA) Ho Weirong announced that the air forcewould be operating a fifth generation fighter within the next eight to ten years. This was the fifthnew Chinese aerospace programme to be announced in 2009. The COMAC C919 190-seat airlinerwas launched in March 2009; the KJ-2000 AWACS aircraft and Xi’an ASN-207 tactical unmanned airsystem (UAS) were unveiled in October 2009 and a 200-tonne class military airlifter was also due tomake its first appearance before the end of the year.

The process of globalisation has taken some strange twists and turns over the last few months.Countries will little tradition of aircraft manufacturing is starting to become important players in theglobal market. Mexico's aerospace related exports have more than tripled since 2004, from $146.2million to $683.2 million last year. Japanese companies are setting up low-wage manufacturingcentres in Vietnam. Malaysia is becoming a global centre of composite manufacturing excellence. Ifyou follow the money, all roads lead to the Middle East, the recent crisis in Dubai notwithstanding.Countries committed to diversifying industries from oil-based economies are rushing into aerospacemanufacturing.

The Abu Dhabi-based Strata Manufacturing aircraft composites factory is due to open in late 2010,producing advanced structures for Airbus and ATR. On 23 September 2009 Emivest AerospaceCorporation (EAC) of San Antonio, Texas, USA delivered its first seven-seat SJ30 business jet. TheSJ30 is the first civil jet aircraft to be built by a company with its roots in the Middle East. The SJ30’soriginal developer Sino Swearingen of the USA was taken over by EAC in June 2008. EAC has itsheadquarters in Texas but is a subsidiary of Dubai’s Emivest, or the Emirates Investment andDevelopment PSC.

But it is the growth of aerospace manufacturing in low-wage economies – such as China and Mexico– that is perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of this new era of aerospace globalisation.

Some context is required. Aerospace manufacturers in North America and Europe may beoutsourcing increasing amounts of high-skilled, labour intensive manufacturing to low-wageeconomies but they are retaining their near-monopoly of complete systems work – engines,avionics, fuel, hydraulics, aircraft controls, landing gear – where the real value in an aircraftprogramme lies. The difference between the value of structures and systems is startling. Chinesecompanies registered around $700 million worth of component and structural work on NorthAmerican and European airliner programmes in 2007. In contrast, Honeywell will earn $23 billionfrom supplying its HTF7500-E engine to Embraer’s new MSJ and MLJ business aircraft.

Money, of course, is not the only reason for outsourcing manufacturing capabilities to othercountries.

“In the past, many companies have set up low-cost-country production for machining, and generallyspeaking, this is not an effective strategy,” said Philip Toy, Managing Director of aerospacemanufacturing consultants AlixPartners, quoted recently in Aerospace America. “Machining ofaerospace components is typically highly automated, and so setting up a machining operation inChina or Mexico typically does not pay, once you factor in the logistics. It is possible to make savingsof between 10% to 20% by moving some work to low-cost country production - if it is correctlymanaged,” said Toy.

Spirit AeroSystems Europe chose Kuala Lumpur for its new 242,000sq ft structures manufacturingfacility but Rolls-Royce decided to expand its overseas manufacturing capacity in Singapore andVirginia, USA – rich in mature aerospace technologies but where the wage bill is also relatively high.

While there are plenty of new low cost manufacturing plants in Mexico there are very few in NorthAfrica. While Chinese factories are ramping up production of Airbus and Boeing structures at a rateof 40% a year, in neighbouring India – where wage levels for skilled workers are a fraction of those inChina – civil airline manufacturing activity is in the doldrums. If the globalization process is not allabout money what is it about? Selling aeroplanes via offset agreements is one answer – movingcloser to the fast moving end-user customer base. But this theory, too, fails the China v India test.And Indian airlines will be buying thousands more aircraft than Mexico.

The answer is that companies in the West are outsourcing work to high-wage and low-wageeconomies for different reasons. The “cluster” effect of Singapore, for example, has proved apowerful magnate for US and European companies wanting to build business in an economy whichhas, until now, been seen as the aerospace centre of the Far East.

The recession has also, it seems, acted as a catalyst to moving labour-intensive manufacturing workto low-wage areas. The dollar-Euro exchange rates had encouraged European manufacturers to setup new plants in Mexico. But by setting up new businesses in low wage areas - such as China inparticular - will European and US aerospace companies help to develop a new generation of


competitors, skilled in advanced manufacturing methods and with access to a huge domestic aircraftoperating market? Where is the real value in the supply chain? And if low-wage economies learn theskills to develop their own advanced programmes will this pose a threat or an opportunity toWestern suppliers? These are some of the main issues this report seeks to answer.

Definitions

Defining a “low-wage” economy is complex (see section one). But the author has identified thefollowing countries as featuring both an aerospace capability and wage levels which offer (seesection one) a competitive advantage to rates experienced by companies based in Europe and NorthAmerica.

* Africa and the Middle East Egypt, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia* Central and Eastern Europe Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Russia, Turkey* Far East China, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam* Latin America Argentina, Brazil, Mexico.

As table seven shows there are wide differences in the average rate of salaries for qualifiedengineers in these countries, generally with salaries in East and Central Europe being the “mostcompetitive” for skilled engineers.

“Aircraft manufacturing” is defined as the full range of systems, structures, components, assembliesand equipment, including avionics and engine systems, below that of the main airframe and engineintegrators (Airbus, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin).

All aircraft types have been considered, above the size of general aviation aircraft. Small turbopropaircraft have not been included but all jet aircraft, including single-engine jets, have beenincorporated into the study.

The market has been further broken down into:

Airliners (including regional jets)

Military fast jets

Military transports, maritime patrol aircraft, refuellers

Rotorcraft

Business jets

Engines

This report concentrates solely on the aircraft and engine manufacturing sectors. Maintenance,repair and overhaul (MRO), weapon and space systems have not been included.

Methodology

The author has taken a “top-down” and “bottom-up” approach to estimating the size of the aircraftsystems, equipment and structures market. Country profiles relying on, where available, nationalaerospace manufacturing association figures have been collated alongside data collected by PMIMedia on individual contract awards 2005-2009.1 This work tracks the supply chain of every major

aircraft in production today, highlighting each major contract win in terms of value, location andexpertise.

This is an imperfect measure because it does not take into account legacy workloads (that is,contracts won before 2005), accurate predictions of aircraft orders and deliveries or where work ismoved internally within a company from one location to another. However, it is perhaps the mostaccurate way of estimating values because there is enough data within the public domain tounderstand broadly the overall value of work even if actual figures are not given. Thus when there isno value given for a contract award the author has estimated the value of the deal by comparing itto similar work where values have been given.

All relevant data has been sourced.

Executive summary

During 2009 there has been a substantial increase in the amount of new contracts for aircraftsystems, components and equipment placed with companies based in low-wage economies.

During 2009 an estimated $31,555 million of new business was awarded to the global aviationsupply chain, of which $9,212 million was spent with companies based in low wage economies of theworld. This represents 29.2% of the total market in new systems, components and equipment work,a very steep growth rate over the 6.2% share recorded in 2008. Most of this work takes place in theairliner sector, which is responsible for around 73% of the value of the total aviation supply chain.

But the value of work won by companies in low-wage economies on European and North Americanaircraft programmes is worth approximately the same as the work won by Western suppliers on newaircraft programmes pioneered by companies in low-wage economies (China, Brazil, Korea, Turkeyinter alia). The value to Western suppliers of work on aircraft originating in low wage economiesbetween 2005 and 2009 was $25,325 million, whereas suppliers in low-wage economies won$23,564 million of work over the same period from aircraft manufacturers in North America andEurope over the same time.

Poland

Turkey

India

Malaysia

This list does not include China, which is growing its aerospace turnover at around 40% a year butrestructuring its manufacturing industry to more closely align new production plants with markets.The workforce is currently being reduced from around 400,000 as workers involved in non-coreaerospace activities are being reassigned.

But there are few signs that low-wage economy companies are starting to move their expertise upthe supply chain. Until now the real value in the supply chain has been with systems integrators -such as fuel, pneumatic, electrical and environmental control systems, markets which are stilldominated by the US majors Goodrich, General Electric and Parker, inter alia.

Chinese companies registered around $700 million worth of component and structural work onNorth American and European airliner programmes in 2007. In contrast, Honeywell will earn $23billion from supplying its HTF7500-E engine to Embraer’s new MSJ and MLJ business aircraft.

The setting up of operations in low-wage economies has both a positive and negative impact onmanufacturing operations in traditional aerospace countries which, from the result of this study atleast, suggests they tend to cancel each other out. In terms of money, at least, the loss ofmanufacturing work in Europe and North America to countries such as Brazil and China is balancedby the new work created on aircraft programmes emanating from these countries.

It is unlikely that the next generation of large aircraft being introduced into the market by companiesbased in low wage economies will feature systems integrated by indigenous suppliers of avionics,fuel systems, flight management systems etc. Or, at least, if they do they will struggle to develop anaircraft which will be competitive with Airbus and Boeing types.


The barriers to entry for newcomers into the “whole aircraft systems” market are large and growingdaily. The next generation of airliners will require not just new engine concepts such as gearedturbofans and open-rotors – offering 15% to 20% improvements in fuel burn over current types –but all-electric actuation systems and substantially lighter but more powerful and reliable airconditioning, fuel, lighting, electrical generating systems.

The technology behind these systems will be available to only a handful of Western suppliers whoare heavily involved in the final stages of pre-competitive research studies with national andinternational research authorities.

The wage differentials between the richest and poorest nations of the world are in a state ofconstant flux as the strength or weakness of the dollar (particularly against the Euro) can be as muchof a decisive competitive factor as the pay and conditions of local employees. Mexico has become afavoured destination for start-up and relocating aerospace companies because the savings peremploys over US rates can be in excess of US$30,0002. According to French aerospace companySAFRAN every time the dollar falls a cent against the Euro it costs the company EUR22 million. In themiddle of 2009 SAFRAN was reportedly paying its Mexican workers US$560 a month and itsengineers between $925 and $1,390 a month.

In the 2009 airliner systems, structures and components market the new programmes beingdeveloped in China and Russia probably explained much of this rise in work-share from low-wagecompanies but there were other factors, too.

On programmes originating in the West, low-wage companies featured the following programmewins

The A350 XWB - Airbus signed a contract with Chinese partners to create a joint venture tomake carbon composite parts in China for its A350 XWB and A320 aircraft. Airbus's Chinesebusiness will hold a 20% stake in the joint venture, based in Harbin, and China's HarbinAircraft Industry Group will hold a further 50% stake, while other local players HAI, AviChinaand HELI will each own 10%. Fokker Elmo has set up a plant in China to build wiring for theTrent XWB. Esterline has a new facility in Mexico supplying vanes to the Trent XWB.

Bombardier CSeries – wiring Will be made in China by Fokker Elmo for the project.

Airbus and Bombardier airliners - Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM) hassigned a 3.5 billion ringgit, $1.03 billion for 20 years with Goodrich to produce nacellecomponents for a range of airliners.

Boeing 737 – flaps will be made by MHIVA Aerospace Vietnam Co., Ltd. (MHIVA) of Hanoi, asubsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) The new plant is situated at the ThangLong Industrial Park (TLIP) approximately 16 kilometres northwest of central Hanoi andoccupies 4,500 square meters (m2) in floor area within the 19,100sq m plant. Initially, theflaps for the Boeing 737 will be shipped to MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works forpainting and final inspection, and then delivered to the Renton, US site. Once productiongathers momentum, MHIVA will deliver the flaps to the US directly, according to thecompany.

Mitsubishi MRJ70/90 - Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) of Taiwan ismaking slats, flaps, belly fairings, rudders as well as horizontal stabiliser rotating blades forthe aircraft.

There has been substantial investment by companies in low-wage economies into new aerospacestructures and materials, especially composites. Brazil, the Czech Republic, China, Malaysia, Mexicoand Turkey all have advanced composite manufacturing facilities.

The most successful of these are companies who have been able to combine development of anindigenous composite manufacturing capability with a national strategic approach to accessing themarket.

Thus Turkey has obtained more than $3 billion worth of structures work on the F-35, with TAIopening a new 74,000sq ft facility to make at least 400 composite subassemblies in the low rateinitial production (LRIP) phases of the programme.

And Malaysia’s government investment on Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM)Incorporated has seen the company develop substantial business from Airbus, Boeing and Goodrich


1. Trends in outsourcing aircraft systems, components and equipment work to low-wageeconomies

1.1 The growing value of aerospace manufacturing work in low-wage economies

During 2009 there has been a substantial increase in the amount of new contracts for aircraftsystems, components and equipment placed with companies based in low-wage economies.

During 2009 an estimated $31,555 million of new business was awarded to the global aviationsupply chain (see table two), of which $9,212 million was spent with companies based in low wageeconomies of the world (see table three). This represents 29.2% of the total market in new systems,components and equipment work, a very steep growth rate over the 6.2% share recorded in 2008(see table four). Most of this work takes place in the airliner sector, which is responsible for around73% of the value of the total aviation supply chain.

Was this jump in outsourcing work the result of a statistical quirk or does it signify a more generaltrend of increased aerospace manufacturing work in low-wage economies? The statistical picture isconfusing because of the widely-fluctuating amounts of work being assigned to low wage economycountries (see table three) over the last few years and the fact that one or two major contracts (suchas the JSF work assigned to Turkey) can distort the overall picture.

This study, however, suggests there has yet to be a fundamental shift within the market which couldspell a substantial change to the entire dynamics of the global aerospace supply chain. There are anumber of factors to suggest this.

The value of work won by companies in low-wage economies on European and North Americanaircraft programmes is worth approximately the same as the work won by Western suppliers on newaircraft programmes pioneered by companies in low-wage economies (China, Brazil, Korea, Turkeyinter alia). The value to Western suppliers of work on aircraft originating in low wage economiesbetween 2005 and 2009 was $25,325 million (see table six), whereas suppliers in low-wageeconomies won $23,564 million of work over the same period from aircraft manufacturers in NorthAmerica and Europe over the same time(see table five).

2009 22,982 4,066 650 2,691 1,166 31,555



But low-wage manufacturing companies are now starting to invest in high-wage areas. For example,at the end of July 2008 Brazil’s Embraer said it would invest EUR148 million in two new plants inPortugal to make wings and tailpieces for export. The two plants will be based in Evora in the southof the country. One, which will cost EUR100 million, will build large metallic parts for aircraft, such aswings, while the other will work with composite materials for tailpieces. The wing production plantshould start producing in 2011, and the second plant would become operational in 2012.

It is true that the number of low-wage economy countries now increasing their share of overallglobal aerospace spend is too many for it to be an isolated or a local phenomenon. Countries wherethe growth trend - in terms of turnover and employment is particularly strong – include:

Poland

Turkey

India

1.2 North American/European manufacturers are retaining their technical and market dominanceof supply chain integration

It is unlikely that the next generation of large aircraft being introduced into the market by companiesbased in low wage economies (see table one) will feature systems integrated by indigenous suppliersof avionics, fuel systems, flight management systems etc. Or, at least, if they do they will struggle todevelop an aircraft which will be competitive with Airbus and Boeing types.

The barriers to entry for newcomers into the “whole aircraft systems” market are large and growingdaily. The next generation of airliners will require not just new engine concepts such as gearedturbofans and open-rotors – offering 15% to 20% improvements in fuel burn over current types –but all-electric actuation systems and substantially lighter but more powerful and reliable airconditioning, fuel, lighting, electrical generating systems.

The technology behind these systems will be available to only a handful of Western suppliers whoare heavily involved in the final stages of pre-competitive research studies with national andinternational research authorities.

NASA, for example, suggests that by implementing technologies to replace heavy hydraulic flightcontrol systems with light electric units will cut the fuel bill by 9%. According to some manufacturers'figures, by using distributed power systems, the number of electrical components can be cut by 35%;wire segments by 40%; weight can be reduced by 40%; installation time reduced by 60%; andreliability improved by 20%.. According to Hamilton Sundstrand “The benefits (of distributedelectrical power management system)...will be seen across a number of areas with estimatedreductions in take-off weight (3%), life cycle-costs (4%) and maintenance (5%).”

Replacing separate power generation/storage systems - batteries, emergency power, tank and cargobay inerting systems, APUs - with new technology fuel cells will reduce engine off-take requirementsby around 3% of fuel burn in the cruise, according to Airbus.

“On average, gas turbine APUs are 15% efficient at converting jet fuel into electricity. In contrast,fuel cell APUs will be 60% efficient, which will reduce by three quarters the amount of fuel anairplane uses to generate ground power,” says Boeing.

It is difficult to see how companies entering this market now will have the time, resources ortechnical expertise to catch up with the West in the next 10 years in these domains. China, with300,000 highly skilled engineers entering the market every year, might come close, however.

Boeing has had an uneven experience of outsourcing large amounts of its supply chain to partnersoutside North America and now both Boeing and Airbus want to deal with fewer, but larger andmore capable, partners. This militates again towards Western integrators playing larger roles inmanaging systems integration work, and in particular US companies. The large amount of workobtained by US suppliers on the Airbus A350 XWB (see section 1.4) is in some large measure downthe dominance of these manufacturers in technology and management of suppliers, especially as aresult of the experience these manufacturers have gained in developing lighter but more efficientsystems for the Boeing 787.

There has been substantial investment by companies in low-wage economies into new aerospacestructures and materials, especially composites. Brazil, the Czech Republic, China, Malaysia, Mexicoand Turkey all have advanced composite manufacturing facilities.

The most successful of these are companies who have been able to combine development of anindigenous composite manufacturing capability with a national strategic approach to accessing themarket.

Thus Turkey has obtained more than $3 billion worth of structures work on the F-35, with TAIopening a new 74,000sq ft facility to make at least 400 composite subassemblies in the low rateinitial production (LRIP) phases of the programme.

And Malaysia’s government investment on Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM)Incorporated has seen the company develop substantial business from Airbus, Boeing and Goodrich.

1.3 The impact of wage differentials and currency fluctuations

There are broadly three types of country offering new low-wage opportunities to the globalaerospace supply chain:

Former Communist countries with substantial experience in developing and producingaircraft in large numbers, now restructuring their industries to exploit global marketopportunities while, in some cases, re-building indigenous military capabilities with networkenabled capabilities (China, Russia and the countries of central and eastern Europe)

Countries which have an established tradition of aerospace industry, mainly through thelicensed assembly of Western products or having set up joint ventures with Westerncompanies, are now seeking to expand their capabilities further within the global market(Turkey, Korea, and South Africa).

Countries with little or no aerospace tradition but whose governments are promoting newaerospace manufacturing initiatives (Mexico, Malaysia, and Vietnam) mainly thoughattracting new investment from established companies.

For countries wanting to access the market for the first time the strategic route of entry is normally:

Begin system assembly under a licence agreement with foreign companies and develop asupport MRO capability to maintain civil and military aircraft bought from Westernmanufacturers

Begin airframe parts manufacturing and subassemblies

Start sub-assembly development

Start system development by indigenous capabilities.

However, the road is not always straight. Indonesia developed a strong indigenous capability toassemble aircraft in the 1990s, but since then economic problems have forced a cut-back in itsstrategy. The amount of government funding required to build a competitive edge in this business issubstantial and needs to be applied consistently over 10 to 15 years – relying on low wages is simplyno longer enough.

Anyway, the wage differentials between the richest and poorest nations of the world are in a stateof constant flux as the strength or weakness of the dollar (particularly against the Euro) can be asmuch of a decisive competitive factor as the pay and conditions of local employees. Mexico hasbecome a favoured destination for start-up and relocating aerospace companies because the savingsper employs over US rates can be in excess of US$30,0004. According to French aerospace companySAFRAN every time the dollar falls a cent against the Euro it costs the company EUR22 million. In themiddle of 2009 SAFRAN was reportedly paying its Mexican workers US$560 a month and itsengineers between $925 and $1,390 a month.

When the first major A350 XWB contracts were being awarded at the start of 2008 Airbusmanufacturing managers were keen to mitigate the problem of a strong Euro. As Ake Svensson,then president of the European AeroSpace and Defence industries’ association (ASD Europe)highlighted at the association’s July 2008 AGM… .“the current situation to leading to a loss of skilled

4Source: MexicoNow, Mexico’s Aeronautical Industry, June 2009


employment in Europe and destroying future job opportunities…Despite efforts to develop newproduction strategies and encourage greater productivity, each 10 cents devaluation of the USdollar against the euro produces a loss of margin of €1 billion to majors such as Airbus, withproportional losses being inflicted throughout the supply chain of at least another half billion.”

While Airbus retained the most valuable integration and final assembly work in Europe it lookedincreasingly outside Europe for sub-systems and structural work. In January 2009 Airbus and agroup of Chinese companies established a joint venture manufacturing centre in Harbin, China tomanufacture Airbus A350 XWB composite parts.

Does one new job in Mexico or China created by Boeing or Airbus mean one lost job in Seattle orToulouse?

Not necessarily.

When Cessna, based in Wichita, Kansas, opened a 62,000sq ft wire assembly in Mexico in 2006 itgave its employees retraining opportunities and offered relocation packages. It actually expandedoverall its US workforce during the year. Creating new jobs in low-cost economies argue somecompanies, allows the organisation to become more competitive and retain workforce levels in high-wage areas of the world.

The setting up of operations in low-wage economies has both a positive and negative impact onmanufacturing operations in traditional aerospace countries which, from the result of this study atleast, suggests they tend to cancel each other out. In terms of money, at least, the loss ofmanufacturing work in Europe and North America to countries such as Brazil and China is balancedby the new work created on aircraft programmes emanating from these countries.

Note – this does not take into account joint venture programmes such as the Lockheed Martin AT-63Pampa, Eurocopter EC175/ HAIG Z15 etc


The evidence of this study at least seems to suggest that North American and European countriesare retaining the high-value programme work and exporting the lower-value structure andcomponents work to organisations on low wage economies and that this process, probably as aresult of the financial recession, accelerated rapidly in 2009.

1.4 Sector by sector analysis: airliners, rotorcraft, business aircraft, fast jets and militarytransports

The extraordinary rise in the value of contracts awarded to companies in low-wage economies in2009 compared with 2008 can partly be explained by the emergence of new programmes fromChina and Russia.

In terms of aircraft systems, structures and components contract awards, 2007 was the year of A350XWB and the Boeing 787 (see appendix one), 2008 the year of the A350 XWB, Bombardier CSeriesand Mitsubishi MJ 70/90 and 2009 was dominated (still) by A350 XWB and Bombardier CSeriescontract awards supplemented by COMAC C919 and Irkut MC-21 work.

Table eight: The aviation systems, structures and components market 2005-2009 for airliners



2005 6,288 1,047 16.6

2006 1,735.5 427 24.6

2007 42,280 1,657 3.9

2008 39,223 3,720 9.5

2009 22,982 8,060 35.0

The new programmes from China and Russia probably explained much of this rise in work-sharefrom low-wage companies but there were other factors, too.

On programmes originating in the West, low-wage companies featured the following programmewins

The A350 XWB - Airbus signed a contract with Chinese partners to create a joint venture tomake carbon composite parts in China for its A350 XWB and A320 aircraft. Airbus's Chinesebusiness will hold a 20% stake in the joint venture, based in Harbin, and China's HarbinAircraft Industry Group will hold a further 50% stake, while other local players HAI, AviChinaand HELI will each own 10%. Fokker Elmo has set up a plant in China to build wiring for theTrent XWB . Esterline has a new facility in Mexico supplying vanes to the Trent XWB.

Bombardier CSeries – wiring will be made in China by Fokker Elmo for the project.

Airbus and Bombardier airliners - Composites Technology Research Malaysia (CTRM) hassigned a 3.5 billion ringgit, $1.03 billion for 20 years with Goodrich to produce nacellecomponents for a range of airliners.

Boeing 737 – flaps will be made by MHIVA Aerospace Vietnam Co., Ltd. (MHIVA) of Hanoi, asubsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) The new plant is situated at the ThangLong Industrial Park (TLIP) approximately 16 kilometers northwest of central Hanoi andoccupies 4,500 square meters (m2) in floor area within the 19,100sq m plant. Initially, theflaps for the Boeing 737 will be shipped to MHI's Nagoya Aerospace Systems Works forpainting and final inspection, and then delivered to the Renton, US site. Once production


gathers momentum, MHIVA will deliver the flaps to the US directly, according to thecompany.

Mitsubishi MRJ70/90 - Aerospace Industrial Development Corporation (AIDC) of Taiwan ismaking slats, flaps, belly fairings, rudders as well as horizontal stabiliser rotating blades forthe aircraft.

During 2009 there has also been a dramatic increase in the amount of work on rotorcraftprogrammes being undertaken by low-wage aerospace companies. While the launch of the RussianHelicopters Sapsan (Mi-34S2) accounts for some of this increase Sikorsky has outsourcedconsiderable amounts of structural work to central European suppliers and others. In 2009 India’sTata Advanced Systems and Sikorsky signed an agreement for the Indian enterprise to build cabinsfor the S-92 helicopter at a greenfield site in Hyderabad, and is due to begin deliveries from late2010. This follows on from earlier agreements with Aero Vodochody to produce S-76 structures(more than 30 % out of a total of 8,500 parts of the helicopter assembly are produced by themanufacturer, with the rest, around 200, being sourced mainly by US and Canadian subcontractors)and Poland’s PZL Mielec. The first Black Hawk cabin produced at the Mielec facility was rolled out inMarch 2009. The first cabin was built for the S-70i while the second will be assembled into a USArmy UH-60M. Delivery of the first S-70i helicopter from Mielec is expected to occur by the end of2011. Production is expected to ramp up to as many as 36 S-70i helicopters per year.

Poland has become a centre of excellence for helicopter structures from Western suppliers followingdecades of producing helicopters for Warsaw Pact countries. PZL-Swidnik and AgustaWestland havebeen co-operating for over 10 years with production of the AgustaWestland Grand, A119 Koala,A109 Power, A109 LUH and AW139 airframes all being carried out in Poland, with over 1000 jobs atits Swidnik plant being supported by AgustaWestland programmes.

In the business jet market most of the activity underway by companies based in low wageeconomies is centred on Brazil’s Embraer and associated Brazilian concerns alongside US business jetmanufacturers who have relocated to Mexico. China, Russia and the countries of the formerCommunist bloc have made little headway in this market – perhaps understandable given the lack ofa business aircraft tradition and the current volatility of the market. However, this could soonchange, given the relatively low barriers of entry into the personal and very light jet market in termsof technology and financing, and new entrants from the Far East into this market should be expectedonce the current depressed economic conditions improve.

The drive by India, Brazil, Argentina, Korea and Taiwan to develop an indigenous fast-jet capabilityhas provided plenty of work for Western manufacturers – joint-programmes between nationalaerospace champions in low-wage economies with legacy suppliers in the West have, in general,produced aircraft closer to the original specifications and budgets than projects built aroundindigenous engines, avionics and weapon systems. China’s development of a robust third-generationfighter with the performance approximating an early F-16 suggests an impressive leap in capabilitiesand, for the first time, genuine competition in export markets beyond legacy suppliers withinEurope, North America and Russia.

Companies have yet to make an impact on the global military transport market – outside thelicensed built assembly of small transports now obsolete in the West. However, this will change withthe development of an indigenous 200-tonne Chinese military transport – due to fly before the endof 2009 and a potential new military programme in Brazil.

2. Africa and the Middle East

2.1 Introduction

North Africa combines low labour costs, a skilled workforce and a Francophone population withclose proximity to major European manufacturing centres. French structures company Latecoere willbe employing 700 skilled staff by the end of 2009 in its manufacturing plant near Tunis, whileSnecma Morocco Engine Services (SMES), a joint venture between SAFRAN and Royal Air Maroc, isalso growing rapidly.

Links across the Mediterranean have been boosted recently by the July 2008 formation of ”TheUnion for the Mediterranean”, an initiative by French president Nicolas Sarkozy to strengtheneconomic ties between 43 member nations surrounding the sea.

Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Saudi Arabia are rapidly developing aerospace businesses to support new civiland military aircraft fleets and developing their own indigenous aerospace manufacturingcapabilities. But they cannot be regarded as “low-wage” manufacturing centres.

2.2 Egypt

Egypt’s major aerospace manufacturer is the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), acompany, whose core business is military systems, including the construction and assembly ofarmoured vehicles. The AOI subsidiary Arab British Helicopter Company (ABHCO) is an Anglo-Italian-Egyptian joint venture which manufactures the Westland Gazelle under licence in Egypt.AgustaWestland controls half of the company.

2.3 Morocco

Morocco is vying with Tunisia to become a new low-wage aerospace manufacturing centre in muchthe same way Mexico become a favoured base for North American suppliers. SAFRAN has set upSnecma Morocco Engine Services (SMES), a joint venture between Snecma Services (with 51%) andRoyal Air Maroc (49%), to handle the CFM56-7 engine tests and repairs.

Probably the largest manufacturer is Atlas Productions of Tangier, a supplier of position sensors andbrake measurement units. In 2009 Atlas was acquired by CIRCOR Aerospace Products of the USAwhich bought all operating units Groupe BMP, which previously owned Atlas Productions.

2.4 South Africa

South African aerospace companies have considerable expertise in the design, development andproduction of military aircraft. Denel Aviation is primarily focused on maintenance, repair andoverhaul of both rotary and fixed wing aircraft in operation with the South African Air Force.

The purchase of 26 Saab JAS39 Gripen fighters has propelled South African companies into theglobal aerospace supply chain. BAE Systems and its partner Saab are delivering US$8.7 billion inIndustrial Participation benefits to South Africa through investments and other stimulation of thecountry's mining and manufacturing sector as a result of the purchase of the aircraft. Saab hastransferred manufacturing of the Gripen main landing gear unit fuselage section to Denel. SouthAfrica’s Avitronics – now part of Saab Avitronics - is supplying helicopter electronic warfare toSwitzerland, also as a consequence of the Saab-Denel tie-up.

Licensedproduction

In 2002 Agusta SpA and South Africa’s Denel Group, signed anagreement for license production and marketing of the Agusta A109LUH, the A109 Power and the A119 Koala helicopters in SouthAfrica. The helicopters are built at Denel Aviation’s manufacturingfacilities in Kempton Park, South Africa. The license productionagreement allows Denel to both manufacture and market the A109and A119 Koala helicopters in specified countries around the world,including South East Asia, the Middle East, South America andAfrica. The Agusta and Denel partnership dates back to the ProductSupply Agreement for the A109 Light Utility Helicopter programmesigned in 1999. The agreement provides for a phased multiple yearprogramme for the manufacturing of the complete A109 LUHairframe and systems installation in South Africa. Denel is involvedin the integration of subsystems, manufacture, final assembly,customisation engineering and flight-testing of the SAAF’shelicopters.

Super Lynx 300/AW159

AgustaWestland Denel Saab Steels andcomponents

Under the National Industrial Participation (NIP) agreement drawnup by the South African government Denel is participating in theupgrade of Lynx platforms for the RAF and is exporting componentsfor the Lynx Refit programme. According to the agreement:“Denel'scurrent structural work for the Lynx would be extended to includeall AW159 programmes. Denel will attain the higher profileinternationally by supply contracts. Export of Special Steels for useby GKN Group, from Iskor and proposed new Speciality Steel Mill(Agusta). Under this initiative, GKN would commit to purchasing25% of its steel requirements from South Africa, provided the supplycriteria are met.”

Denel-Saab has acquired extensive capabilities in the defence aerospace market, with a particularfocus on helicopter systems manufacturing. As well as gaining knowledge through the developmentof the Rooivalk attack helicopter the company also assembled 23 Agusta A109 LUHs in South Africaunder a 2000 contract. The company became a credited supplier dynamic helicopter part assembliesfor the civil and military market (main rotor blades and main rotor heads) and structural assemblies(such as fuselages and tail booms).

As part of a company restructuring announced in 2006 Denel is seeking to expand its commercialaerospace portfolio, its Turbomeca Africa has continued to grow its profits year-on-year and DenelAviation has become Africa’s first accredited Lockheed Martin service centre. Denel is seeking tobuild on its established joint ventures - Carl Zeiss Optronics South Africa, Denel Saab Aerostructures


and Rheinmetall Denel Munitions - with particular expertise in military markets. Denel SaabAerostructures is a designer and manufacturer of complex metallic and composite aerostructuresfor the military and commercial aviation industry. It supplies these aerostructures to OEM’s andother aerostructure suppliers in cooperation with aircraft manufacturers, such as Airbus,AgustaWestland, Boeing and Saab. This business specialises in manufacturing aircraft detailcomponents and aerostructure sub-assemblies. It designs and builds elements of the Airbus A400Mmilitary transport aircraft, the Gripen advanced fighter, the SAAF's Agusta A109 LUH helicopter andparts for Boeing commercial airliners.

3.5 Russia

Russia is in the last phase of a transformation process which has seen it evolve from a mass producerof airliners and militart aircraft to meet the demand of the Soviet bloc to an integrated member ofthe global aerospace industry.

The final phase of transformation has been outlined in the 2006 report of the GovernmentCommission for Integration of Aircraft Building Enterprises in the Russian Federation, charged bythen president Putin to set out a strategy to revitalise the aerospace sector. One of the maindecisions from the report was to develop a “joint stock” company to consolidate many of the state-owned aerospace companies under a single entity, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). Russia’shelicopter industry has also been consolidated within the OPK Oboronprom’s Helicopter Group – thegovernment has a 51% share in the enterprise.

UAC has been structured in four divisions: Military Aviation, Transport and Specialized Aviation, CivilAviation, and Parts and Components.

Since then, Russia’s aerospace sector has developed new civil projects in combination withcompanies in Europe and the USA and redeveloped military aircraft to aim them at the exportmarket. The Sukhoi SuperJet 100 is being produced by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft with partners includingBoeing, Goodrich, Ilyushin, Powerjet (a 50/50 engine joint venture of NPK Saturn and Snecma), andothers. Alenia Aeronautica is providing sales and after sales product support in Western Europe,


North America and South America. Other new civil programmes (the Antonov AN-148 and MC-21 –see section six) also include a wide number of new partnerships.

The following is a list of recent agreements, identified by the US Department of Commerce, 10

UAC and Alcoa International have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) covering“supply of advanced metallic materials, modern structural components and manufacturingtechnologies.” The MoU covers development of an Alcoa Aerospace Technology Center inRussia.

European Aeronautic and Defense Space Company (EADS) and UAC have signed fouragreements- a five percent partnership in the Airbus A350XWB programme for UAC forairframe component design and construction in Russia; establishment freighter conversioncenters for the Airbus A320 family both in Dresden and at Lukhovitsy near Moscow, a jointstudy of the transport aircraft market and a shareholder exchange in EADS’ EngineeringCenter Airbus Russia (ECAR).

Vneshtorgbank (VTB), Russia’s second-largest state owned bank, purchased a five percentstake in EADS in 2006.

Honeywell Corporation has an agreement to “westernize” Mi-8/Mi-17 military helicoptersfor use outside Russia

Rolls-Royce Corporation (North America) provides an engine for the Kamov KA-226 lightmultipurpose helicopter.

While sales of fighters to export customers - such as the SU-30s and its derivatives to India, Algeriaand elswhere - have been brisk in recent years, the domestic military market is also starting to pickup. According to Russian Prime Minister Putin speaking at the August 2009 MAKS air show, 48 Su-35s, twelve Su-27SMs and four Su-30Ms were sold at the show.

But the industry still needed an injection of funds at the end of 2009 to keep research anddevelopment plans in place.

UAC is still transforming – from 100,000 employees now to 50,000 within the next 15 years – froman 80/20 military/civil split to 50/50 in the medium term.

4. Far East

4.1 China

The size of China’s domestic market has provided a powerful magnet to Western civil aircraftmanufacturers for many years. But most of this work has been limited to structural assembliesrather than systems and integration packages. However, until now China has not yet made the leapfrom supplying structures to supplying major aircraft subsystems such as fuel, pneumatic, electricaland environmental control systems, markets which are still dominated by the US majors Goodrich,General Electric and Parker, inter alia. While these companies have recently started to source somecomponents from China there are, as yet, few signs that Chinese companies will in the near futurebe able to shift through the gears to become major integrators of these systems, where the majorvalue lies, at least in the civil market.

To put the value of this work in context, Chinese companies registered around $700 million worth ofcomponent and structural work on North American and European airliner programmes in 2007; incontrast, Parker won business estimated at $3.5 billion in July 2008 for the single contract to supplyBombardier with a fly-by-wire control system on the new CSeries airliner. To put this further intocontext this $700 million is still far less than the value to US suppliers of contract work on the newAVIC regional jet.

However, Chinese expertise in developing systems capability is increasing rapidly, as evidenced by itsaim to develop a fifth generation fighter within eight years and its achievements in creating the J-10and JF-17 aircraft with performances understood to be at early F-16 generation levels.

There is also a significant lack of Chinese work within the business jet segment, a major area ofconsistent growth, for the moment at least, within the global aerospace manufacturing sector. ButChina’s prospects for further major inroads into the global aerospace competitive marketplace,beyond the Airbus A350XWB, will no longer depend on winning business with Airbus and Boeing.The COMACC919 which is being developed as a competitor to the Airbus A320/Boeing 737 andsuccessor programmes offers Chinese companies a step-change in developing capabilities fromstructures suppliers to systems integrators.

The success of this programme will depend on a number of factors including:

The ability of COMAC to develop an aircraft which is 15-20% cheaper to operate, in terms ofdirect operating costs, than the current A320/B737 types. This process will be helped by theavailability of new engine types, such as the geared turbofan, which could provide at least a10% improvement over current designs in fuel burn.

The timing of the A320/B737 replacement launch - the COMAC C919 would ideally belaunched some years before the A320/B737 replacements are ready.

The country is not immune to the same fluctuating price impacts of raw materials and oil that haveplayed such havoc with aircraft builders and operators in the West, but a more pressing issue is thatthe number of major new aircraft programmes is likely to be much smaller in the 2009-2012timeframe than the past few years, when the Airbus A350XWB, Bombardier CSeries, Boeing 747-8have all offered Chinese companies new opportunities.

Second, China appears to be slowly losing at least part of its competitive edge in low-wagemanufacturing markets. It is likely that the next few years will therefore see a gradual slowdown inthe rapid rate of subcontract work within China to major US and European airliner programmes.


Over the past two years aircraft manufacturers in the West have dramatically increased theirmanufacturing footprint in China. It is not hard to understand why. Over the next 20 years China willneed 3,400 airliners according to Boeing. Some regional airliners will be produced by the country’sown aircraft manufacturers – but the larger aircraft will need to be imported. According to Airbus’September 2009 Global Market Forecast China's aviation market will see an annual increase of 7.9percent in the next 20 years, becoming the world's second-fastest growing market after India. TheAsia Pacific market, including China and India, is forecast to account for 31 percent of demand by2027, followed by Europe at 25 percent and North America at 10 percent over the next two decades,the report said.

The potential of China’s domestic market has provided a powerful magnet to Western civil aircraftmanufacturers for many years. In 1985, a licence agreement was signed by McDonnell DouglasCorporation (MDC) to assemble MD-80-series airplanes in Shanghai. The aircraft were assembledfrom kits and 35 aircraft produced between 1985 and 1994. A follow-on contract which substantiallyincreased Chinese content was signed in 1992 to produce 40 MD-80/MD-90 aircraft. The contractwas amended in 1994 to produce 40 MD-90s (20 in Long Beach, 20 in China) and again in 1998,when MDC merged with Boeing, to reduce the number of China produced MD-90's from 20 to justtwo.

Chinese manufacturers have also been involved in making parts for Bombardier's Q100, Q200, Q300and Q400 models.

But most of this work has been limited to structural assemblies rather than systems and integrationpackages. There have also been strict embargoes on North American and European companiesexporting technologies which could be used for military purposes, a sometimes limiting factor on theexport of computing devices, for example. But the last few years has seen a marked change in theattitude to China by Western companies as Chinese companies re-organised themselves with newskill sets.

The Chinese government has been actively building up the country’s civil aircraft manufacturingcapabilities, first with the development of ARJ21 regional jet and MA60 regional turboprop and morerecently with the COMAC C919. In its Eleventh Five-Year Programme, the government has laid out amedium-term goal of developing its helicopter manufacturing capability so that by 2010 it will havethe capacity to manufacture 80-100 helicopters annually.

The country’s indigenous skill set has been developed on the back of an increasing presence of USand European aerospace companies in the country.

Boeing has a marginally larger civil aircraft manufacturing footprint in China than Airbus, but Airbusis developing new ranges of other aviation services with new Chinese partners. The Chinesegovernment is committed to increasing the size and scope of its aircraft manufacturing sector;building a new range of regional jets and helicopters while developing new manufacturing facilitiessuch as the Tianjin Aviation Town being developed on a 102 square kilometer plot west of Beijing. In2006 Chinese aircraft manufacturers realised a turnover of nearly US$400 million, a year-on-yearincrease of about 45%. Following a major June 2007 package of manufacturing contract work withBoeing (see below),

Strategic agreements between Chinese companies and Western aircraft manufacturers

Airbus has entered into a framework agreement with Harbin Aircraft Industry Group Co Ltd (HAIG),part of AVIC, on a joint venture to produce A320 and A350 XWB composite parts, setting up amanufacturing centre in early 2009 in Harbin, capital of northeastern China's Heilongjiang province.The Airbus (Beijing) Engineering Technology Center began work in July 2008, a joint venture


between Airbus Hafei Aviation Industry, Jiangxi Hongdu Aviation Industry and the former ChinaAviation Industry Corporation I (AVIC1 ), to provide design services.

By 2010 Airbus expects to be spending around $120 million of its procurement budget in China.Airbus China opened its Beijing office in 1990; the Airbus Beijing training centre was set up jointlywith the China Aviation Supplies Import & Export Corporation in 1998 while nearby Airbus has setup a customer support centre, which stocks some 25,000 spare parts.

In June 2007 Boeing contracted a package of work for on its range of Boeing 737NG, Boeing 747-8and Boeing 787 aircraft valued at about US$500 million. Chinese companies, for the first time, arebuilding flaps, ailerons and spoilers for Boeing aircraft. According to the company “Boeing supplierpartners have active supplier contracts with China aviation industry valued at well over US$2.5billion.”

Boeing is one of the main partners, with Hexcel and AVIC , in BHA Aero Composites Co, Ltd, inTianjin, producing secondary composite structures and interior parts. First deliveries started in 2002.BHA customers include Boeing, Hexcel, Fisher and Goodrich. It has over 570 employees.

According to Boeing, its suppliers’ Chinese aerospace business includes the following activities:

General Electric procurement from Harbin, Shanghai, Xi'an, Sichuan, Suzhou, Guizhou,Shenyang.

Goodrich CF34 fan cowl (at BHA, 2003). Contracted in 2008 with Hongdu Aviation inNanchang to build 787 part kits for the 787 nacelle.

Parker Hannifan, machining with Jincheng Corp., Shanghai Qi Yi Automotive, SichuanGolden Dragon Machine.

Pratt & Whitney, engine components, from Xi'an and Chengdu.

Primus International in Suzhou, factory ground-breaking 2004, airplane components.

Rolls-Royce, procurement from several locations including Xi'an, Shenyang.

Snecma, CFM56 engine blades, joint venture in Guiyang.

General Electric, Suzhou; makes engine parts and flight controls.

Meanwhile Bombardier’s new CSeries is being developed in conjunction with Shenyang AircraftCompany, which will supply the fuselage, centre wing box and doors. During the 2007 Paris Air Showthe former AVIC 1 signed a risk and revenue sharing deal with Bombardier to develop the ARJ21-900,a 105 seat regional jet. Bombardier plans to invest $100 million in the ARJ21-900 project and providetechnical assistance towards the development of the aircraft. According to Bombardier “In pursuit ofits goal to become a major international tier one structural supplier, AVIC I plans to invest $400million US for research and development, construction of new facilities and equipment for theCSeries aircraft programme….”

The former AVIC I and Bombardier Aerospace have a long standing strategic agreement whichincludes AVIC I’s Xian unit manufacturing components for the Bombardier 415 and ShenyangAircraft Corporation unit supplying components for the Q-Series aircraft..

In October 2004 the French and Chinese presidents were present at the signing of a CooperationFramework Agreement between AVIC II and Eurocopter for a joint helicopter venture. Eurocopter


and the former AVIC II have been cooperating for more than 25 years, in particular with the Z9, aDauphin made in China and the EC120 also manufactured in China by Harbin Aircraft Industries.

In 2003, EADS, Eurocopter’s parent company, took a 5 % share in the newly created AviChinaenterprise.

And the former AVIC II, through its subsidiaries Changhe Aircraft Industries Corporation andShanghai Xinshen Aviation Industry Investment and Development Company recently joinedShanghai Sikorsky as a shareholder. The company was established in 2003 by Sikorsky and ShanghaiLittle Eagle to build civil helicopter sales and support in China.

The Harbin aerospace cluster houses the only assembly plant for the Embraer ERJ-145; Embraermoved ERJ-145 production to Harbin as part of a joint venture with AVIC II in 2004 and has orders tokeep the production line busy for at least another three years.

During the September 2009 Asian Aerospace show Safran signed a framework agreement with AVICfor work on the aircraft as did Nexcelle - a joint venture company created by GE's Middle RiverAircraft Systems and Aircelle, a Safran group company to supply nacelles. According to AVIC: “AVICAircraft and Nexcelle will consider a broad range of nacelle and components manufacturing anddesign opportunities, including current production programmes and for new aircraft. Categoriescould range from business jets to large airliners.”

In late 2008 the Chinese government announced the re-merger of AVIC I and AVIC II, previouslyseparated in 1999, creating a huge organisation with more than 420,000 employees spread acrossmore than 100 companies. AVIC I tended to make larger aircraft and engines – it had 47manufacturing companies, 31 research institutes and 22 other aviation support companies. In 2008AVIC 1 employed around 230,000 people and assets exceeded $20 billion US. Products includedfighter aircraft, turbofan engines, air-to air missiles and the ARJ 21and the 50-seater turbopropMA60 airliner. AVIC II was the country's only manufacturer of military and commercial helicopters. Italso manufactured the 50-seater ERJ 145. AVIC II delivered 132 airplanes in 2007 – 30 aircraft morethan in 2006 – while sales revenue reached 10.32 billion yuan, up 30.1% over the previous year.

During 2009 AVIC set up a number of semi-independent subsidiaries - a defence branch was set up inBeijing to develop new capabilities in areas such as unmanned air systems (UAS) and to export J-10,JF-15 and L-15 Falcon military jets. The division owns 10 assembly plants and research institutesacross China.

Civil aircraft manufacturing has been devolved to the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China(COMAC), based in Shanghai, to manage the development of the C919 190-seat airliner and the ARJ-21 regional jet. COMAC businesses include AVIC 1 Commercial Aircraft (ACAC), Shanghai Aircraft(SAC) and First Aircraft Institute (FAI).

An AVIC helicopter company has been set up in Tianjin Binhai New Area. A new aviation enginecompany has been launched in an aerospace cluster zone near Beijing Capital International Airport.An airborne systems division has been established in the Zhongguancun Aviation Science Park ofHaidian district, in northwest Beijing.

In the last two to three year’s Chinese companies have succeeded in winning contracts forincreasingly complex aero-structures. The new BHA plant operated in conjunction with Hexcel andBoeing has given Chinese industry an entree into the world complex composite panels and parts, forinterior and exterior structures. This expertise has allowed Chinese concerns to widen their contractbase from aircraft programme OEMs (Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Sikorsky) to prime contractorssuch as Spirit and Fokker-Elmo.

Although the aerospace industry is developed mainly around Embraer there is a growing number ofother Brazilian companies working on Embraer and other aircraft programmes. Embraer is now oneof the largest aircraft manufacturers in the world and was Brazil’s largest exporter from 1999 to2001 and the second largest in 2002, 2003 and 2004. It currently employs more than 16,946 people,94.7% based in Brazil. Since 1996, Embraer has produced and delivered more than 1000 ERJs tomore than 37 airlines in 24 countries. The success of the Legacy 600 since its entry into service in2002 was followed by the Phenom 100, Phenom 300, Legacy 450, Legacy 500, Legacy 600, andLineage 1000 executive jets. The company is also active in the defence field, with trainers and AWACaircraft. Defence is likely to take a larger share of the future market with the country’s acquisition ofnew fighters – which will involve considerable Brazilian manufacturing and technology input – andthe proposed development of a new military transport aircaft.

5.3 Mexico

Mexico has long been seen as an attractive low-wage economy for aerospace manufacturers.According to the United States’ International Trade Commission’s Aaron Miller12, speaking in May2009, Mexico’s advantages cen be summed up as:

Existing human capital resources

Proximity to the U.S.

Economic integration

20% cost savings on labour

Strong IPR protections

No military aircraft restrictions

Liberal investment regime

Another key component for Mexico’s success has been the BASA (Bilateral Aviation SafetyAgreement) federal government project which allows the certification of aerospace designs andcomponents made in Mexico, in accordance with U.S. standards and complying with FAA regulatoryissues, to be recognised in the USA - avoiding re-certifications or second reviews by US Government.

In the past five years more than 190 aerospace companies have relocated or set themselves up inMexico. While most of these are relatively labour-intensive, structural parts and MRO organisationsit is possible13 that by 2011 Cessna will be assembling aircraft in Mexico; Bombardier will start

building its Learjet 85 in 2012 and both Bell and MD Helicopters are considering opening assemblylines there.

Figures for turnover and growth differ. According to the Mexican aerospace industry tradeassociation FEMIA 14 the aerospace industry exported $US3,400 million of aeronautical products in2008, expecting to reach over $4,000 million by the end of 2009 - a 28% increase over 2008. Importswere $2,425 million in 2008 and predicted to be $2,840 million in 2009. Other figures (see tablebelow), suggest a more modest turnover.

According to Secretary of Economy figures, there are 194 aerospace companies operating in thecountry, 79% of these are in the manufacturing and assembly, 10% in engineering services and R&D,and 11% are involved in MRO activities.

Raytheon moved its wire harness production to a supplier in Mexico in 2003 but the surge inaerospace business relocation and start-ups really began in 2007. Bombardier relocated its Quebecmanufafturing plant to Queretaro in 2007 as part of the manufacturing strategy for the GlobalExpress; in 2006 parts manufacturing for the company had already been transferred to Mexico fromWichita, Japan and Northern Ireland. Cessna and Hawker Beechcraft set up plants in Chihuahua;Cessna’s 62,000-square-foot wire assembly and sheet metal facility opened in the first quarter of2006. Goodrich chose Mexicali for its Boeing 787 work and SAFRAN now employs more than 3,500Mexican workers in Queretaro and Chihuahua states.

The impact of the setting up of the European and North American companies on the Mexicaneconomy is not yet fully understood – though Eaton Aerospace has estimated it will be sourcing 30%of supplies from local providers.

Mexico has also developed effective “cluster” activities. Most of the relocated companies arelocated in the Mexicali-Tecate-Tijuana corridor. One particulararly successful cluster operation is inBaja California which now employs more than 12,000 people in aerospace activities.
