The largest Czech manufacturer of civil aviation equipment, Aircraft Industries in Kunovice in the Uherské Hradiště region, reported a profit of 14.8 million crowns for the last year. In 2022, the company ended up with a loss of 225.5 million crowns, also due to anti-Russian sanctions, and the year before that it recorded a loss of 106.9 million crowns.
In the spring of 2022, Aircraft Industries was purchased by the Omnipol group from its then Russian owner, the Ostov company. The sole shareholder of the Kunovice company is the joint-stock company LET Kunovice. The company is now focused primarily on markets in Southeast and Central Asia, Africa and the Middle East. At the same time as the L 410 UVP-E20 aircraft, it also produces a modernized version of the L 410 NG, i.e. a new generation. Both aircraft can carry up to 19 passengers.
In addition to civilian versions, Aircraft Industries also produces cargo, ambulance, airborne or observation versions of the aircraft. Last year, the company delivered aircraft to Senegal and Chile, for example, and this year it reported on deliveries of its aircraft to Kazakhstan and Thailand.
Aircraft Industries continues the more than eighty-year tradition of aircraft production in Kunovice. The main product of the aircraft plant is the twin-engine turboprop aircraft of the L 410 series, of which more than 1,200 have been manufactured and delivered worldwide. They are in service in more than 60 countries.
