What AERTEC Solutions does

AERTEC Solutions, S.L. is a privately held Spanish aeronautical engineering and consulting firm founded in 1997 and headquartered in Málaga, with operating offices in Seville, Barcelona, Madrid, Bremen (Germany), Bogotá, Lima, Abu Dhabi, and Riyadh. The company operates across three business lines: airports (consulting, planning, infrastructure design, project management, operations, IT solutions, and advanced air mobility), aerospace systems (aircraft electrification, flight control systems, avionics, connected cabin, advanced industrial solutions, and ground test equipment), and defence systems (proprietary products including the FOX micro-missile, BAT semi-active laser-guided glide munition, Seeker guidance kit, GNC systems, and aircraft armament integration). As a Tier 1 EMES3 strategic supplier to Airbus across all divisions worldwide (Commercial, Helicopters, Defence & Space), AERTEC delivers engineering, manufacturing engineering, and client services on civil and military aircraft programmes including A400M, A330MRTT, A350XWB, A320, Beluga XL, and Eurofighter fuel systems.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts (engineering and airport consulting, typically multi-year and project-based) and one-time product sales (proprietary defence systems, supplemented by integration and support services). Distribution is purely direct enterprise and B2G: senior-led direct engagement with aerospace OEMs (anchored by the Airbus Tier 1 relationship), government defence ministries (e.g., Spanish Ministry of Defence / DGAM for the SAETA II programme), and airport operators/authorities globally (AENA, Lima Airport, Rionegro, Sharjah Airport). The company is actively involved in 21 aerospace programmes with leading OEMs, has executed projects in 40+ countries across 5 continents, and has worked on approximately 250 international airports. AERTEC reports over 700 employees globally and holds EN 9100, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications. In 2024-2025, the firm divested its UAS subsidiary to Indra, segregated parts of its business into AERTEC Aviation S.L., created AERTEC Defence & Aerial Systems, and announced a €15 million investment programme to strengthen proprietary technology and international presence.
