The paper explains and describes the history of the company, its organization and performance. Various statistical indicators of TAI are used to measure competitiveness and efficiency, based on published data at the industry and firm level. The indicators include productivity, output, firm size, development time-scales, job creation, exports and profitability. The study concludes that TAI is developing an air defense company and the firm’s productivity is increasing over time, but profitability rates are unstable. Although export level have been increasing their, share in total sales is insignificant and TAI usually meets the domestic demands where their most important customer is the Turkish government.Keywords : Aerospace industry, Aerospace markets, Defense, Turkey
