Czech L-39NG aircraft attracts interest in Paris

Paris, 21 June 2023 – The 54th edition of the prestigious Paris Air Show has begun at Le Bourget Airport in Paris. AERO Vodochody Aerospace traditionally exhibits at the world’s largest aerospace industry presentation. The company’s flagship, the L-39NG two-seat subsonic jet aircraft, dominates the joint exhibition of Czech aerospace manufacturers in the form of a model. Aero expects its participation in the event to increase interest in its L-39NG, which represents a modern versatile platform suitable for training, reconnaissance and light combat missions. A number of ongoing meetings and official visits to the stand confirm this interest. At the Paris Aero salon, Aero is presenting itself in the new presentation mode of the world’s largest trainer jet manufacturer.

Aero is presenting at Le Bourget its new L-39NG, the next generation of the world’s most successful subsonic trainer jet, combining advanced avionics systems, an extremely efficient jet engine and outstanding flight performance. The L-39NG is fully certified in accordance with EU and NATO regulations, allowing it to be sold worldwide.

“The Paris Air Show is a truly unique opportunity to showcase our company and products on a world-class level while meeting our customers, partners and suppliers. It is important for our company, which is one of the oldest airlines in the world and a leader in jet training, to participate in such air shows and fairs and represent the Czech Republic and the entire Central European region. We want to share our successes and present, among others, our new L-39NG jet aircraft so that we can offer the world the most efficient aircraft in its category,” says Viktor Sotona, President and CEO of Aero.

During the Paris Air Show, meetings are being held with a number of important representatives of current and potential customers or representatives of important institutions. “We are in a series of ongoing negotiations not only on L-39NG contracts, but also with subcontractors to L-39NG production, such as Martin Baker or Williams, and last but not least, we will meet with our customers Embraer and Airbus to deepen cooperation in the field of production units,” adds Viktor Sotona, President and CEO of Aero: “The Paris Air Show is a great opportunity for Aero and other Czech aerospace manufacturers to show that we are a force to be reckoned with in this global industry and that we can be interesting partners also in the field of the latest technological innovations.”

Aero is presenting itself in Paris in a new communication language that better describes the company’s new vision and mission, based on the fact that the company has been supporting the best pilots from all over the world for more than 100 years and the company’s aircraft are the pillar of flight training for the fifth generation of fighter pilots. Aero provides military jet fighter pilots with the most appropriate systems, technology and support they use to ensure safety.
