Aero Excellence International Executive Committee (AEI EXCOM) in Getafe, Spain

It was a pleasure to bring together the Aero Excellence International Executive Committee (AEI EXCOM) in Getafe, Spain, kindly hosted by Airbus.

The evening before the meeting, TEDAE, Asociación Española de Empresas Tecnológicas de Defensa, Seguridad, Aeronáutica y Espacio welcomed AEI EXCOM members and CEOs from across the Spanish aerospace ecosystem, including representatives from ITP Aero and CESA - Héroux-Devtek SPAIN, to a networking dinner. A great opportunity to exchange perspectives, strengthen relationships and reinforce our shared commitment to industrial excellence.

Discussions on the day focused on the international deployment strategy. A dedicated side meeting was also held with the US EXCOM joining virtually, outlining key priorities for the US aerospace ecosystem, notably operational ramp-up and the establishment of an effective governance framework to support implementation and drive results.

A big thank you to Airbus for hosting us in Getafe and TEDAE for the warm welcome and excellent evening.

Together, we continue to strengthen international cooperation, accelerate operational excellence and foster closer collaboration across the global aerospace and defense supply chain.
