Mexico’s aerospace industry has posted astounding growth in recent years, turning the country into a key global aerospace manufacturer in the process. Mexico has been the world’s number one destination for aerospace manufacturing investment over the past two decades, with over US$1 billion in 2008 alone, according to the recent report Aerospace Globalization 2.0: The Next Stage, by industry consultants AeroStrategy. The country’s aviation industry has flown through quite a bit of turbulence (sorry) over the same period, but nonetheless represents an important market for products and services, between the commercial airlines, private air transport service providers and law enforcement and military fleets. The biennial Aero Expo coming up December 3-5 offers a great opportunity to meet the key players in NAFTA-region aerospace and aviation. Um, in Acapulco.
