AURA AERO reports it has received the building permit for AURA Factory, its future facility located at Toulouse-Francazal Airport. “With 50,000 square meters of industrial infrastructure, this new production facility represents one of the most ambitious aerospace industrial hubs in France,” said the company in a press release. “ Obtaining the building permit also represents a key milestone for the project supported by the European Commission’s Innovation Fund (EUR95 million), a crucial strategic backing to support AURA AERO’s industrial growth and enable the transition to mass production of a low-carbon aircraft.
Ultimately, the facility will generate EUR2 billion in revenue and create more than 1,600 direct jobs, making a significant contribution to the region’s economic vitality and the development of cutting-edge industrial expertise in the Occitanie region, said the company.
AURA Factory is designed to support AURA AERO’s dual industrial strategy, enabling the production of aircraft for both civil and military markets. This approach addresses the growing needs for sovereignty, industrial resilience, and strategic autonomy. The INTEGRAL family is a range of training and practice aircraft with aerobatic capabilities, designed for civilian and military flight schools. ENBATA is a next-generation tactical MALE (Medium Altitude Long Endurance) drone designed for surveillance, intelligence, and operational support missions.
