Aeronautics in Burgundy, outstanding sector

The Burgundy aeronautic industry differs from that of other regions by its special know-how in the light tourism planes and in the aircraft industry.

We can also find second rank equipment manufacturers for Boeing and Airbus (Précilec, Snecma, Hamilton Sunstrandt, Sagem Défense…) or manufacturers of materials for operating commercial airplanes.

InnovAero, Rural Excellence Cluster (PER) and soon to be the leading European cluster for light leisure aircraft and small business planes. Complementary skills on the ground: Darois for construction, Saint Yan for training, Auxerre for maintenance, Nevers Magny-Cours for motorisation and test-beds is a factor of competivity for these companies in Burgundy.

Variety of skills for the aeronautical industry

• Construction, Assembly
• Manufacture of basic parts
• Industrial services
• Maintenance, Repairs, Operation
• Training for technicians, flight attendants and pilots

Dijon Bourgogne Airport and the Renaissance Project

The Burgundy Regional Council, the Côte d’Or General Council, the Dijon Agglomeration Council and the Dijon CCI (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) are investing €24.5 M over 10 years to develop civil air traffic, by opening regular routes and by increasing both charter and business activities.

24 airfields can host your activities depending on the characteristics that you are looking for: length and surface of the airstrip, radio navigation equipment, presence or not of a control tower, firefighter level, and activities already present.
