Aero Excellence™ International
A universal standard of Operational Excellence, recognised by Aerospace and Defence community.
In July 2024, the aerospace and defence industries of the UK, France, and Germany announced they are joining forces to launch Aero Excellence™ International, an initiative for enhancing supply chain resilience through a new and universal standard of operational excellence.
Developed by the respective European national aerospace and defence associations – ADS (UK), GIFAS (France), and BDLI (Germany), all of which are members of ASD – Aero Excellence™ International builds on the Aero Excellence™ programme launched by GIFAS at the Paris Air Show in June 2023. The initiative’s expansion into the UK and Germany marks a significant step towards creating a cohesive, cross-border approach to supply chain improvement.
Aero Excellence™ International is designed to streamline evaluations and increase productivity, thereby strengthening supply chains and supporting the aerospace industry’s ramp-up. This standardised assessment of supply capability focuses on three core areas: operational excellence, environment, and cyber security. Companies can achieve bronze, silver, and gold status, fostering transparency, comparability, and quality across the industry.
