Descripción de alcance del subsector

¿Qué es el subsector Aeroespacial?

La industria aeroespacial, se encarga del diseño, la fabricación, la comercialización, el mantenimiento y repuestos de aeronaves que van desde aviones, drones, hasta naves espaciales. Incluye también equipos específicos asociados como los sistemas de propulsión. Gracias al trabajo articulado y sinérgico que se logra entre el Estado Colombiano y el Sector Privado, se pueden sumar esfuerzos para promover la industria aeroespacial competitiva y sustentable a largo plazo.


Descripción del trámite y procedimientos administrativos

¿Por qué invertir en la industria Aeroespacial?

La Industria aeroespacial en Colombia cuenta con potencial para ofrecer servicios y proveer con productos de valor agregado al sector aeronáutico. Actualmente existen empresas del sector de autopartes y de servicios aeronáuticos con certificaciones internacionales que les permiten ser proveedoras de la industria aeronáutica internacional. El país cuenta con gran potencial de tráfico aéreo, y por ende se tienen altas expectativas de crecimiento de la flota de aviones, lo que generará mayor demanda de servicios de mantenimiento y reparación de aeronaves.

Colombia tiene la capacidad de liderar los servicios de Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO). Se espera que en América Latina el valor de mercado de las actividades aeroespaciales llegue a USD 268 billones; por tanto, la demanda de servicios requerirá en promedio de 47.550 nuevos pilotos y de 64.160 nuevos técnicos.

El país cuenta con empresas certificadas con la norma AS 9100, como fabricantes de partes y piezas aeronáuticas que pueden desarrollar actividades como proveedoras de la industria aeronáutica internacional. En los últimos años alrededor de 100 talleres aeronáuticos del país han realizado cerca de 48 mil servicios de mantenimiento a aeronaves, este subsector cuenta con una fuerza laboral capaz de satisfacer las necesidades de las compañías aeroespaciales en el uso de nuevas tecnologías como drones, realidad aumentada e impresión 3D, las cuales permiten realizar inspecciones de fuselaje y reducir el tiempo de operación.

Colombia cuenta en promedio con 54 centros de instrucción aeronáutica cuya oferta de servicios es diversa para fortalecer la capacidad técnica y humana que permita dar respuesta al crecimiento de la industria. Otra de las razones para invertir en el subsector aeroespacial es que en el país se han generado una red de acuerdos comerciales vigentes que permiten impulsar el subsector aeroespacial para la entrada de productos colombianos con cero aranceles en Norte América y Europa.

Para el año 2018 la ciudad de Bogotá fue reconocida como una de las ciudades aeroespaciales del futuro ocupando el primer lugar en innovación y atractivo, según el ranking Aerospace Cities of the future 2018/19 del Financial Times. Finalmente, es necesario resaltar que este subsector cuenta con la cooperación de otras industrias establecidas en diferentes regiones del país como lo son la industria metalmecánica, plásticos y de textiles para proveer materiales e insumos a la industria aeroespacial. De esta forma, se tiene la capacidad de realizar el ensamblaje de aviones ligeros, aviones de entrenamiento militar y la fabricación de drones sofisticados, para satisfacer la demanda del sector de defensa nacional y regional.
