An infographic on AERTEC's evolution from 1997 to the present day in the field of aviation, highlighting some of the key milestones that have defined its trajectory.
AERTEC Solutions was founded in 1997 in Malaga as an engineering and consulting firm specialising in aeronautics, with its first projects in the field of airports. From the outset, its positioning has been clearly defined: to apply advanced aeronautical knowledge to projects where safety, reliability and technical rigour are structural requirements, not optional attributes. This approach has shaped its evolution and explains a trajectory characterised by progressive internationalisation and diversification of capabilities without losing its specialisation.
Over nearly three decades, AERTEC has developed projects in more than 50 countries and at around 250 international airports, establishing itself as a major player in the airport sector. Its broad scope reflects a systemic view of airports: complex infrastructures where capacity, operational safety, flow efficiency and operational resilience must be addressed in an integrated manner.
The criteria of innovation, safety, efficiency and sustainability form part of AERTEC's methodological core. Innovation is approached not only through the adoption of new technologies, but also through the design of operational models and systems integration, as demonstrated by its involvement in the conceptual development of Advanced Air Mobility. Operational safety acts as a cross-cutting theme in all projects, supported by technical analyses, simulations and methodologies specific to the aeronautical environment. Efficiency, meanwhile, is pursued through design decisions based on data and knowledge of the actual functioning of airport operations. In terms of sustainability, AERTEC incorporates criteria aimed at reducing environmental impact, optimising resources and ensuring responsibility in the value chain, in line with current industry demands.
Above and beyond its technical capabilities, AERTEC's main asset is its team. The company has more than 700 professionals with diverse profiles —engineers, consultants, operations, systems and management specialists— capable of working in a coordinated manner on complex, multicultural projects. In a sector where there is no margin for error and where every decision can have operational, regulatory and economic implications, the value of the team lies both in individual excellence and in the collective ability to integrate disciplines, manage risks and deliver robust solutions.
AERTEC's trajectory can ultimately be explained by the consistency between its aeronautical origins, its international expansion and a professional culture based on rigour, knowledge and people. This combination has enabled it to establish itself as a global benchmark in airport and aerospace engineering and consulting.
