FAL Integration

FAL Integration and Flight Line Services

For more than 20 years, AAA has been supporting major aircraft manufacturers for their FAL and integration needs. From technical assistance, AAA has successfully developed a workpackage approach to meet the increasing requirements of the aerospace industry. With our worldwide presence, close to our major customers’ facilities, we are able to perform all structural, mechanical, electrical and cabin within assembly lines.

This is possible thanks to our skilled locally-based teams all over the world. Our deliverables are managed through milestones, quality gates, return on experience and corrective action plans in order to provide best cost, quality and on time efficiency.
