Kale Havacılık

As the first ever aerospace company founded with 100% Turkish capital, Kale Havacılık’s agreement with Lockheed Martin, the prime contractor of the Joint Strike Fighter (F-35), kicked off its production of fuselage and wing components for the fighter aircraft. Kale Havacılık is the only Turkish company that has manufactured components for the AA1, the first-ever F-35 flown in the world, and currently supplies more than 400 different fuselage, wing and cockpit parts as well as assemblies for the Joint Strike Fighter.

A direct subcontractor to some of the world’s leading manufacturers such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Airbus, PFW, Spirit, KAI, Heroux Devtek, and Northrop Grumman, Kale Havacılık continues to operate as a Star Supplier for Lockheed Martin since 2004.

Aiming to become Tier-1 supplier for global manufacturers, Kale Havacılık continues to manufacture aerospace platforms, fuselage and wing components, design fixtures and moulds and provide assembly and engineering services.
