Mubea Aviation Secures Airbus A350 Composite Structures Contract

Updated on June 10, 2026 • 4 min read

Mubea Aviation has been selected by Airbus Atlantic to provide serial production and supply of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) structural components for the Airbus A350 program, strengthening its position within the global aerospace composites supply chain.

The contract represents a significant milestone for Mubea Aviation as demand continues to grow for lightweight composite structures used in next-generation commercial aircraft.

Supporting Airbus A350 Production

Under the agreement, Mubea Aviation will manufacture and supply CFRP composite structural components for the Airbus A350, one of the world’s most composite-intensive commercial aircraft platforms.

The A350 incorporates more than 50% composite materials by weight, enabling significant reductions in aircraft weight, fuel consumption, and operating costs compared with previous-generation widebody aircraft.

As production rates gradually increase across the commercial aerospace sector, Airbus and its suppliers continue to focus on securing reliable sources of high-performance composite structures.

Strengthening Aerospace Composite Capabilities

According to Mubea Aviation, the contract highlights the company’s expertise in advanced composite manufacturing technologies and its ability to deliver aerospace-grade structural components that meet demanding performance and quality requirements.

The company noted that the award further strengthens its role as a trusted supplier within the Airbus industrial ecosystem.

Composite aerostructures have become increasingly important across commercial aviation as manufacturers seek to improve:

• Fuel efficiency
• Aircraft range
• Structural performance
• Corrosion resistance
• Lifecycle costs

The growing use of carbon fiber composites has also increased demand for suppliers capable of producing certified aerospace components at industrial scale.

Program Launch in Türkiye

The project was officially launched during a kick-off meeting held at Mubea Aviation’s manufacturing facility in Ergene, Türkiye.

The event brought together cross-functional teams responsible for engineering, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and program management activities.

According to the company, the meeting reinforced the collaborative approach required to support successful execution of the Airbus A350 program and ensure delivery of high-quality composite structures.

Growing Demand for Aerospace Composites

The award reflects broader industry trends as aircraft manufacturers continue expanding the use of composite materials in both primary and secondary structures.

Programs such as the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 have demonstrated the advantages of large-scale composite adoption, including lower fuel burn, improved durability, and reduced maintenance requirements.

As global aircraft production rates recover and long-term demand for fuel-efficient aircraft remains strong, suppliers specializing in CFRP structures are expected to play an increasingly important role in supporting future aerospace manufacturing programs.

For Mubea Aviation, the Airbus Atlantic contract represents another step in expanding its presence within the commercial aerospace composites market while reinforcing its capabilities in advanced lightweight structures for next-generation aircraft.
