Shenyang Aviation Industry Group

Shenyang Aviation Industry Group Co., Ltd. (SAIG), established in June 2016, is a state-owned enterprise directly under the Shenyang municipal government. It serves as the primary entity for developing Shenyang's world-class aerospace industry cluster, with a mission to support national aviation strategy and strengthen the local aviation economy.

The group's business is structured around two main pillars: aviation industry development and aviation industry investment. Its core activities encompass advanced aviation manufacturing, industrial park development and operation, aviation supply chain services, and aviation industry investment. SAIG operates through six main business segments: industrial carrier construction, aviation technology, aviation manufacturing, aviation services, aerospace derivatives, and aviation finance. The company focuses on military and civil aircraft, general aviation, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), engines, and aviation materials. It is also involved in the development of non-aeronautical products, leveraging its aerospace technology for items like automobiles and machinery.

Historically, the broader Shenyang aviation industry, often referred to as the cradle of China's fighter jets, has roots going back to the establishment of the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation (SAC) on June 29, 1951. This entity was crucial in manufacturing many of China's firsts in military aviation, including the J-5 jet fighter. While distinct from the older SAC, SAIG acts as a modern platform to integrate and expand upon this industrial legacy, fostering collaboration between central state-owned enterprises, local state-owned enterprises, and private companies. In recent years, SAIG has entered the low-altitude economy sector by establishing new subsidiaries like Shenyang Proton Aviation Technology Co., Ltd. The group aims to significantly increase the local content sourcing rate for major aircraft manufacturers and expand its asset base, with plans to have over 15 holding and participating companies and achieve an asset total exceeding 20 billion yuan by 2027.
