SYNOPSIS
The Government of Malaysia has identified the aerospace industry as a strategic industry which has a wide potential in the country's industrialisation and technological development programs. To ensure consistent growth of the industry, the Malaysian Aerospace Industry Blueprint 2030 was launched in March 2015 during the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace Exhibition 2015 (LIMA ’15). The Blueprint has set a vision for Malaysia to be the no. 1 aerospace nation in South East Asia (SEA) and be an integral part of the global market by the year 2030 with an annual revenue of RM55.2 billion and creating more than 32,000 high income jobs. To further support of the aerospace industry, the National Aerospace Industry Coordinating Office (NAICO) was established in August 2015 by the Ministry of International Trade & Industry (MITI). The primary objective of NAICO is to oversee the implementation of the strategies and initiatives in the Blueprint. NAICO will serve as the focal point in linking the aerospace industry players, relevant Government ministries and agencies, and academia to collectively work together in strengthening the capability and capacity of Malaysia’s aerospace industry.
