AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group
A Chinese AVIC-affiliated aerospace manufacturer focused on aircraft structures, components, and related industrial products.
Last updated August 26, 2026
Overview
AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, commonly abbreviated as AVIC XAC and also known in Chinese as Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group, is an aerospace and industrial manufacturing enterprise based in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. The company operates within the Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) group and is associated with the production and marketing of structural parts and components for aircraft, as well as automobile-related products. Its business profile places it within China's large state-linked aviation manufacturing system, where specialist companies contribute airframe structures, assemblies, components, and other engineered products to broader aircraft-development and production programs. The company was founded in 1997 and became a publicly listed enterprise on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in the same year. Listing gave the business a separate capital-market identity while it continued to operate within China's state-owned aviation-industrial framework. Publicly available descriptions characterize its principal activities as the manufacture and sale of aircraft structural parts and components together with automobile products, rather than as a consumer-facing aircraft brand or airline. Its importance is therefore primarily industrial and programmatic: it supplies aerospace manufacturing capability and participates in the wider AVIC production network. A significant organizational change occurred in 2020 as part of a reform of the company's ownership and governance arrangements. AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group was placed directly under AVIC, and Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation was acquired and made a wholly owned subsidiary for stock-exchange purposes. This restructuring aligned the listed company more closely with the central aviation-industry group and consolidated related Xi'an aircraft-manufacturing assets under its corporate structure. The company is headquartered in Xi'an, one of China's major aviation and aerospace manufacturing centers. Its publicly described scope includes military and civil aviation-related structural manufacturing, although the available reference material does not identify a complete product catalog, individual aircraft programs, customer list, current executives, or detailed geographic sales breakdown. It should consequently be understood as an AVIC aerospace manufacturing enterprise and listed industrial company, rather than confused with similarly named aircraft manufacturers or with AVIC's other specialized subsidiaries.
History
AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group is an aerospace and industrial manufacturing company headquartered in Xi'an, Shaanxi. Its publicly described activities include manufacturing and marketing aircraft structural parts and components, together with products connected to the automobile industry. The company forms part of China's state-owned aviation-industrial system through its relationship with the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, commonly known as AVIC. The enterprise was founded in 1997 and listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange that year. Its listing established AVIC Xi'an Aircraft Industry Group as a separately traded corporate entity while retaining its role within China's broader aviation manufacturing network. The company's industrial identity is based on production capability and participation in aircraft programs rather than on a consumer brand portfolio. Available reference material does not provide a detailed chronology of its founding assets, early contracts, aircraft programs, or product-level business divisions, so those aspects cannot be documented reliably here. In 2020, the company underwent a significant ownership and organizational reform. It was placed directly under AVIC, strengthening its formal relationship with the central aviation-industry group. During the same restructuring, the company acquired Xi'an Aircraft Industrial Corporation, which became its wholly owned subsidiary for stock-exchange purposes. The transaction consolidated related aircraft-industrial activities within the listed company's structure and reflected the broader use of organizational reform to coordinate state-owned aviation assets. The company's location in Xi'an connects it with one of China's established aerospace manufacturing bases. Its publicly stated scope covers aircraft structures and components, with automobile-related manufacturing also included in descriptions of its business. The available sources do not establish a complete list of current products, customers, export markets, executives, financial results, or individual military and civil aircraft programs. Accordingly, the company is best described as an AVIC-affiliated, publicly listed aerospace manufacturer whose principal documented role is the production and marketing of aircraft structural products and related industrial goods.
