CDC considers establishment of aeronautical cluster at IDZ

The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) will soon issue a notice for an environmental-impact assessment (EIA) to assess the feasibility of establishing a cargo airport and an aeronautical or aerospace industrial cluster in the Coega Industrial Development Zone (IDZ). The CDC noted in a statement on Friday that the cluster could involve the manufacturing of helicopters, aerospace engines, auxiliary equipment and parts, and propulsion units, while the industry could also possibly contribute to aerospace product prototypes, aircraft conversion and aircraft overhaul and rebuilding.
