AEROSTAR'S ROAD TO

ome may remember the name Aerostar from the
remote times of the Cold War in Europe. The
Romanian company, headquartered in Bacau, once
specialized in MiG-21 maintenance, but in the past
decades, it not only survived the political system
change, but it has shifted from the military field
to civil commercial aerostructures manufacturing
activity and has become a modern civil MRO.
Many older pilots, especially those with military
knowledge and background, will remember the
name Aerostar, associating it with the activities
on the other side of the iron curtain in Eastern
Europe in post WW II times. Many will associate
those activities with the name MiG-21, MiG-21
Lancer conversions, and Yak-52. Most companies
from the countries of the Warsaw Pact, especially
those involved in the military aviation world, have
literally disappeared after the Eastern Bloc fell
apart, closing their doors for ever - not so for the
Romanian Aerostar. The company not only survived the transition and kept going in the business
field of previous times, but also started new activities in the civil MRO field logging year-after-year
of growth. How has Aerostar done this? Well, this
was the driving question when I recently visited
the company.
