When The Boeing Company acquired Boeing Aerostructures Australia, formerly Hawker de Havilland, in 2000 it had already been working with the iconic Australian aeronautical firm for a number of years. Boeing Aerostructures Australia is Australia’s only manufacturer of high-end aero-structure components and has been in existence since 1927.

Boeing Aerostructures Australia’s head office is located at Fishermans Bend in Melbourne where it has moved from design, manufacture and assembly of aircraft to being a world class manufacturer of aircraft components for leading manufacturers, and is highly regarded for its work in the area of advanced composite carbon fibre technology.

This world-class specialisation has led to work as sole source of the wholly-composite rudder for the Boeing 777 and designing and building the moveable trailing edges on the world’s most advanced new aircraft, the super-efficient Boeing 787.

The team at Boeing Aerostructures Australia provides customers with a complete solution to aircraft component manufacture – from developing the most aerodynamic and efficient design, to rigorous testing processes.

Boeing Aerostructures Australia also works with a large number of smaller Australian companies putting millions of dollars into the Australian economy and enabling development of new skills across the workforce.
