Structure

Our main activities can be grouped into the following four categories : 

• Aviation and Aerospace Systems
• Engines
• Equipment 
• Material Science and Components. 

Representatives from these four sectors form the Steering Committee of BDLI’s senior governing body. This ensures that the main activities of BDLI take into account the interests of all member companies. In addition, more than 40 expert panels focus on a wide range of topics relevant to the industry.
