AERO Completed Assembly Line for Alenia C-27J Spartan

(Odolena Voda, June 15, 2007) -- Today, AERO Vodochody a.s. (AERO) has completed the assembly line for the production of the C-27J military transport tactical aircraft center wing box for Alenia Aeronautica, Italy, member of the Finmeccanica Holding. The first center wing box should be completed in Vodochody in this year's 3rd quarter.

"The production of the center wing box for the Italian customer represents a delivery with high value added as well as high labor input, which exactly corresponds to the potential of AERO and its development aims. We expect that this program will be as important as the dominant Sikorsky S-76 production regarding revenue and profit," said Peter Ondro, President of AERO.
