The Mexican aerospace industry is leading the world in aerospace manufacture investments.

An aerospace globalization study recently published by Pro Mexico identifies the prestige of Mexican industry in the manufacture, maintenance, repair, engineering, design, education, airlines, airports and auxiliary services; generating £33 million US dollars during the 1990 – 2009 period, more than the USA, China, Russia and India.

Pro Mexico also said the aerospace industry is strategic for the national economy and it promotes it in Mexico and worldwide.

In the October 2009 closure period it boasted a portfolio of nine investment projects for over $1,291 million. Mexico has 190 companies established in the aerospace sector which in 2008 exported over $3 million and employed over 26,000 people.

Last year Pro Mexico added investments amounting to $1 million which highlights the recent announcements made by companies such as Bombardier, Cessna and Aeronova.

The air strategy places Mexico eighth place in the world for attracting investments in maintenance, supervision and repair of aircrafts thus competing with Germany, Malaysia and the United Kingdom.
