QUERÉTARO – Mexico is advancing on the right route to have an important aeronautics industry in the future, President Enrique Peña Nieto said on Monday.
Peña Nieto’s comments were made during the inauguration of the TechOps Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Checkup Center in Querétaro.
According to Peña Nieto, exports from Mexico’s aeronautics industry during 2013 grew 9 percent over 2012, adding up to $5.4 billion in total exports, making Mexico the sixth-largest aircraft provider to the United States. He added that the number of people employed by the industry grew 9.3 percent, which he said is a clear example of the great potential of Mexico’s aeronautics industry.
Mexico’s aeronautics industry is concentrated in the states of Baja California, Querétaro, Nuevo León, Chihuahua and Sonora, employing 32,000 workers in what Peña Nieto called “dynamic aeronautics clusters.”
“We are a country that is in the middle of a global dynamic that demands better conditions for successful participation, and Mexico has carried out structural changes to promote its growth,” he said. “In recent months we have been promoting, with the consensus and support of the country’s primary political parties, a series of structural reforms that will free up Mexico’s potential to grow and stand out on the world stage.”
