Aerospace & defence

Manufacturers, assemblers and distributors of aircraft and aircraft parts primarily used in commercial or private transport. South Africa's strategy for aerospace industry growth is to establish international partnerships with overseas aircraft manufacturers in the component sub-system repair and maintenance area. The country is becoming increasingly important as a regional hub for maintenance repair organizations (MROs) serving operators flying in sub-Saharan Africa. The Government of South Africa is therefore encouraging its companies to take on international partners.
