Starting from January 1st 2012, Alenia Aeronautica has a new name and logo: Alenia Aermacchi.

This new designation results from the combination of the former “Alenia” and “Aermacchi” trademarks, which bring together a wealth of experience, technology and success in the Italian aeronautics industry. “The Company will continue to play a leading role in an increasingly global market in the years to come” said Giuseppe Giordo, Chief Executive Officer of the new Alenia Aermacchi and Head of Finmeccanica Aeronautics Sector.
