Reflecting our commitment to these markets, the region is home to one of our largest aviation engineering and technology centers (GE Aerospace Querétaro) outside the United States and to one of our largest commercial engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) complexes (GE Aerospace Celma). With a presence in most Latin American countries, GE Aerospace offers a variety of support services across all stages of the engine lifecycle.

In addition, our Systems, Sustainability and Aerospace Carbon Solutions teams deliver advanced avionics, electrical power, Software-as-a Service, and sustainability solutions to customers across the region.

GE Aerospace has been a trusted partner in Latin America’s commercial aviation industry for nearly 75 years and today, our technologies are in use by all major airlines in the region, including LATAM Airlines, Sky Airlines, Azul, Copa Airlines, GOL Airlines, Avianca, and Aeroméxico.

We collaborate with regional authorities, regulatory agencies, governments, associations and airlines to drive safety, quality, innovation and sustainability to enhance aviation capabilities across the region.
