Commercial Air

Propelling the future of commercial air technology with precision and efficiency

Building lighter, more efficient, and safer aircraft isn’t only about advanced engineering. It’s also about seamlessly integrating complex systems, ensuring regulatory compliance, and maintaining a resilient supply chain. Leading aerospace OEMs face mounting pressure to deliver innovation while navigating these challenges, making the right manufacturing partnership more critical than ever.

Jabil helps aerospace leaders bring next-generation technology to market faster, delivering the quality, scalability, and expertise needed to shape the future of flight. From AS9100-certified production to expertise in high-mix/low-volume electronics manufacturing, every component is built with precision to enhance reliability, reduce weight, and optimize performance.

Advanced optics and sensors enhance avionics and flight controls, ensuring precision and dependability, while cybersecurity systems safeguard vital onboard technologies from emerging threats. At the same time, end-to-end supply chain management keeps production on track, ensuring every component arrives on time to maintain seamless operations. These capabilities support key aerospace systems, including:

  • Power Management Systems: Advanced manufacturing supports the production of high-efficiency power distribution units, batteries, and energy storage solutions, helping reduce aircraft fuel consumption and improve the integration of hybrid-electric technologies.
     
  • Structural Components: Lightweight, high-strength materials and precision machining contribute to the durability and aerodynamic efficiency of airframes, reducing weight without compromising safety.
     
  • Environmental Control Systems (ECS): Temperature, pressure, and air quality systems must function flawlessly to ensure passenger comfort and safety. High-precision assembly and testing keep products compliant with stringent aerospace standards.
     
  • Avionics & Electronics: Modern aircraft rely on increasingly complex electronic systems for navigation, communication, and monitoring. Advanced manufacturing processes enhance reliability, reduce component failure rates, and enable seamless integration of next-generation technology.
