WHAT IS TUSAŞ?

Turkish Aircraft Industries Joint Stock Company (TUSAŞ) was established on June 28, 1973, under the Ministry of Industry and Technology to reduce Turkey's dependence on foreign defense industry.

With the decision to use F-16 aircraft to meet the needs of the Turkish Air Force for combat aircraft; TUSAŞ was established in 1984 as TUSAŞ Aerospace Industries Inc. (TAI), a Turkish-American joint investment company, to produce the F-16 aircraft, integrate systems on the aircraft, and conduct flight tests to deliver to our Air Force for 25 years.

Before the completion of the 25-year period, in 2005, the foreign shares of TAI were purchased by Turkish shareholders, and the company was restructured. In this context, TAI and TUSAŞ merged and expanded their activities under the roof of TUSAŞ – Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc., becoming Turkey's technology center in the development, modernization, production, system integration, and life cycle support processes of aerospace and aviation industry systems.
