1. Introduction
The sustained growth of the Mexican aerospace industry has been the result of coordinated
actions by leaders of the triple helixindustry, academy and government. This triple helix has
built a collective vision of the future of this sector, establishing multiple actions to promote
and develop its competitiveness: "The best way to predict the future is to build it.
Based on this vision, a comprehensive plan was created and implemented called the Na-
tional Flight Plan (NFP), which has been the basis for the development of the national strategy
of the Mexican aerospace sector (ProAreo). The NFP is a point of reflection and evaluation
that will fine-tune the strategy defined in earlier versions, considering the evolution of the sec-
tor and the assessment of the outcomes for its tactical and operational execution.
This document presents the results of the projects and lines of action proposed since the
third version of the NFP. It includes a prospective analysis on global trends in the aerospace
and defense sectors, with special emphasis on the implications for Mexico. Finally, it identifies
the regional strategies of the country's main aerospace clusters. The results gathered in this
publication have been taken from the proposals in the first versions of the NFP. It shows how it
has been possible to coordinate the different actors of the Mexican aerospace sector to trigger
growth and increase added value.
It is important to note that the NFP is a dynamic document, being constantly updated, and
it demands the ongoing participation of the actors involved in its implementation. This contin-
uous updating process aims to identify new niches of opportunity and to detect emerging fac-
tors that may have an effect on the global and local aerospace sector, which in turn demands
the adaptation of the road map to prevailing conditions in a fast-changing technological and
economic environment.

2 // The Aerospace and Defense Industry Worldwide
Aerospace and defense companies are facing new challenges related to cost reductions in
their programs and contracts, forcing them to adjust to budget cuts around the globe. How-
ever, the quest continues to build ever more efficient and lighter aircraft. These challenges
create new pressures dictated by an industrial environment with high standards, in which in-
novation is a determining factor.
Now more than ever, aerospace and defense companies are experiencing a number of chal-
lenges: costs, the supply chain, the need to expand operations and the search for macroeco-
nomic certainty, to name a few. Customers, meanwhile, seek constant improvements in inno-
vation and price. In short, the A+D industry recognizes that innovation is a vital component,
and must be achieved by any means, but not at any cost.
As it was stated in the document A&D Insights: Executive Summary prepared by PwC, "This
convergence of pressures is leading to a change in program management that moves it well
beyond its traditional heartland of scheduling, progress tracking, managing risk and pressur-
izing or sometimes penalizing suppliers. In the past, companies would respond to pressure by
majoring on excellence in one of solutions leadership, operational excellence or customer inti-
macy. But todays environment means that excellence in one alone is not enough. Companies,
and in turn their program managers, need to be top of their game in all three. And they need
to be able to deliver innovation and affordability in tandem."
In the civil sector, the fleet of passenger and cargo aircraftwith more than 100 seats and
10 tonsis expected to reach 31,358 by 2033, which means a significant increase (more than
double) considering the commercial aircraft currently in service. Single-aisle passenger aircraft
represent the largest segment of the new deliveries with 22,071 over the next 20 years. The
demand for Twin-aisle aircraft will require 7,726 new passenger aircraft and 530 freight aircraft.
Due to the growth in traffic demand in Asia-Pacific, it is no surprise that 48% of the demand
for very large passenger aircraft (VLA) will be within this region. It is equally important to note

rope. Much of this demand, especially in North America, is for new, more fuel efficient aircraft 2014-2033
to replace older less eco-efficient types. By 2033, the worlds airlines will take delivery of more
than 31,350 new passenger and freighter aircraft worth 4.6 trillion dollars at current list prices.3

Suppliers to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and/or assemblers face huge chal-
lenges to keep pace with production demand. Sizeable investment is expected in the develop-
ment of skills and tools, and to increase manufacturing capacity.
Finally, there is the Brazilian Embraer with the launch of its successor to the G2 Jet, and
COMAC's C919 and ARJ21 planes. These models will intensify competition with Boeing and
Airbus. In December 2013, Airbus received more than 750 orders for the A320neo. Boeing had
more than 560 orders for the 737MAX. During the next two years, Bombardier will be put to
the test; airlines are expected to place orders for narrow-body planes, which would position
the C-Series.
The sales forecast will be dominated by the Joint Strike Fighter Lockheed Martin F-35 pro-
gramwhich will run through 2019involving the partnership of nine countries: the United
States, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Turkey, Canada, Denmark, Norway, and
Australia. Progress on the development of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter will be very important,
considering the concern of multinational partners for escalating costs, which have become
a determining factor for Mexico's aerospace industry to be recognized as a strategic option.
According to Aviation Week, Lockheed Martin has confirmed orders for almost 340 Hercules
C-130 from more than 15 countries. There are new competitors around the manufacturing of
this aircraft, so timely delivery will be crucial for the company. The main competitors in this
segment are the Embraer KC-390, the Chinese Shaanxi Y-9, the Russian/Indian Medium Trans-
port Aircraft (MTA), and the A400M.
As far as helicopters, the seven countries behind the Eurocopter Typhoon are expected to
grant the development contract for an AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) to Euroradar's
consortium, Selex Galileo. Meanwhile, the United States has commissioned Bell for an upgrade
to replace the use of AH-64E Apache helicopters.
In Europe, Great Britain and France spend about the same percentage of GDP on defense;
together they represent half the military spending of the continent and their armed forces are
very similar. Both nations cooperate in individual programs, such as Watchkeeper unmanned
air vehicles (UAV) for surveillance, which have gained ground in cyber defense. They also share
research objectives with the English Taranis and the French Neuron.
In summary, the international outlook will be extremely intense, with enormous activity in
the development and construction of aircraft for commercial and military use. As mentioned,
the most important challenges will be related to cost reduction as well as design and materials
innovation. In this sense, the existence of a reliable supply chain will be of paramount impor-
tance, and a prime development opportunity for Mexico.

highly qualified personnel with decades of experience in the automotive, electronics, medical
devices and advanced manufacturing-related industries.
The overall quality of infrastructure has also played a major role in creating favorable condi-
tions for the industry with the availability of laboratories, certification units and the presence
of Mexican civil aviation authorities. This facilitated the signing of the BASA (Bilateral Aviation
Safety Agreement) with the United States Federal Aviation Administration. The agreement in-
volves the recognition by the United States government of aeronautical certification systems
and products made in Mexico. This allows components to be designed and manufactured in
the country and encourages the development and strengthening of national procurement for
the parts manufacturing industry.
11 KPMG Competitive Moreover, Mexico is still the most competitive country in the hemisphere in aerospace
Alternatives 2014 manufacturing costs.11 The countrys legal framework protects industrial property and ensures
the proper use of the goods produced and exported from the country.
The new Mexican export control system was found to be so efficient and safe by the inter-
national community that in 2012 the country entered the Wassenaar Arrangement and the
Nuclear Suppliers Group, and then in 2013 the Australia Group. Mexico is already part of three
of the four main export control regimes, and is in the process of applying for the remaining.
Considering the Wassenaar Arrangement alone, this adhesion implies access to an estimated
additional 11.3 billion dollars in exports.
Mexicos admission in the regimes ratifies the international communitys trust in the coun-
try as a reliable destination for the integration of sensitive technologies. It also shows the
countrys commitment to remain a safe destination for the production of goods and services,
including both restricted technologies and dual-use goods and services.
It is worth noting that Mexico is the sixth largest supplier to the US aerospace industry. Fur-
thermore, geographical proximity to the United States, the worlds largest aerospace market,
and convergence with the two main manufacturing corridors in North America are competi-
tive factors for the country. In addition, the commitment of industry, academia and govern-
ment to establish and implement a national strategy has enabled the creation of highly com-
petitive poles that function within a certified ecosystem and at world class level, presenting
Mexico as an attractive destination in innovation and operating efficiency.

4. National Strategy
In the execution of any strategic plan, it is important to remember that the focus should be on
meeting the objectives, which will be critical to establish concrete actions aimed at giving a
boost to the sector. Within this context, an innovation-based road map must be built through
team work. In line with this principle, the major players in the aerospace community in Mexico
convened to define the path of the industry, academia and government to establish it as the
country's flagship industry, attracting more productive investment, promoting technology
and knowledge transfer, and affecting the creation of better jobs, opportunities and strategic
partnerships.
This updated version of the National Flight Plan (NFP) shows the progress and alignment
requirements under development, without losing sight of the original focus or goals. It also
includes the strategic milestones that have guided the efforts made thus far and considers
those that are still to be made.
Below are the key trends that are shaping and will undoubtedly mark the national and in-
ternational course of the aerospace sector; major advances made based on the strategy, along
with the capacities developed so far.

Detection of missing links in the supply chain. Promote the creation of a bigger and better supply of logistics services in Mexico.
Qualified domestic supply, certified to the required standards in work processes. Promote the incorporation of best practices in corporate logistics management.
Capacities to carry out programs to attract talent. Position Mexico internationally as a world class logistics hub.

Some actions implemented by different players in the aerospace sector have enabled
progress along certain strategic lines for logistics development. Federal and local government
Short-Term (3-5 Year Outlook) agencies, the SE, the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit (SHCP), the Bank of Mexico (BM), and
the Federal Competition Commission (Comisin Federal de Competencia, CFC), among others,
have supported the progress of different projects aligned to promote logistics development.

In addition to the actions mentioned above, the SE launched programs like the Logistics Com-

and foreign trade, with the aim of promoting the supply of logistics services more efficiently

research, technology development and innovation capacities.
According to the triple helix the strategic milestones for Nuevo Len are to:
E. Nuevo Len
The state of Nuevo Leon is known for its significant industrial development, and as a leader in ad-
vanced manufacturing. Its geographical location, combined with its highly qualified human capital Be the most important hub Be the top R&D center in the
and its supply network, make it an ideal place to do business in Mexico and the rest of North America. in Latin America for civil country for advanced manufacturing
aviation MRO. and aerospace design.
Contributing 8% of the domestic GDP and 11% of all goods manufactured in Mexico, Nuevo
Len has developed and consolidated various industries including automotive, metalworking,
household appliances and aviation. With multi-sectorial industrial experience going back more
than a hundred years, Nuevo Len has a vast network of suppliers that has enabled the recent
transformation from basic to advanced manufacturing, capable of supplying highly specialized 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026
sectors like aviation.
The state currently has 28 companies in the aviation sector, which export their products mainly
to the NAFTA market. The sector exports 651 million dollars per year, with steady growth over the
last five years; the majority of the companies have 100% Mexican capital. The state also has success
stories like FRISA, a 100% Mexican high-technology company that made inroads into the global
market by positioning its forged rings with the worlds leading aircraft engine manufacturers. Have a developed and skilled supply chain integrated into
the aerospace value chain.
Nuevo Len's aerospace cluster was created in 2008. Its aim is to promote the integration
and growth of the aviation sector in the state. In line with the NFP, its strategy includes the
integration of local suppliers to the value chain of the national aviation industry through the
development and conversion of suppliers which manufacture high added value pieces for the Be the biggest generator of human capital for the aerospace sector

5 // Conclusions
Conclusions
The growing number of investment projects in the aerospace sector has turned Mexico
into one of the most competitive and strategic destinations for manufacturing and sourc-
ing services and industrial processes. Its increasing development of design and engineer-
ing capacities has enabled it to attract high-value projects related to the main commercial
programs, while its potential in defense and dual-use markets draw the attention of major
international players.
A large part of this success is the result of the application of methodologies that allow the
coordination of the most important players in defining the sector's development strategies.
This document is the fourth version of the NFP and its application to three regional road maps.
Its third version formed the basis and synthesis of the Strategic Program for the Aerospace
Industry (Programa Estratgico de la Industria Aeroespacial, ProAreo). This edition intends to
become a coordinating element and a springboard for the development of a national strategy
of the Mexican space industry.
The benefits of the implementation process expressed in this road map are of high strategic
value. They are aimed at the creation of better business opportunities for Mexico's trade part-
ners, at the implementation of value chains and, primarily, the creation of social and economic
well-being through the generation of well-paid, stable job opportunities for Mexican talent.
