Frequently asked

Glossary

1

Aeromart

The BCI Aerospace brand of pre-scheduled B2B aerospace supply-chain conventions. The Toulouse edition at MEETT runs on booked meetings rather than open-stand browsing, so the value of the trip depends on the quality of your meeting requests before arrival.

2

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)

The prime company that designs and sells the complete aircraft, engine or system and buys components from the supply chain. In Toulouse, OEMs and their procurement teams are the buyers that Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers come to Aeromart to meet.

3

Tier 1 supplier

A large systems or aerostructures supplier that sells directly to the OEM and manages its own sub-tier supply chain. Tier 1s use Aeromart to source and qualify Tier 2 and Tier 3 vendors under them.

4

Tier 2 / Tier 3 supplier

Manufacturers of sub-assemblies, detail parts, processes or raw material further down the chain, typically SMEs and mid-caps. For these companies Aeromart is primarily a route to new Tier 1 and OEM customer programmes.

5

Aerostructures

Primary aircraft structure - fuselage sections, wings, empennage, pylons and frames. Aerostructure work is the largest single category of sourcing discussion at the Toulouse convention because the region hosts a dense airframe supply base.

6

Nacelle and propulsion components

The engine cowling and thrust-reverser assembly plus the machined, cast and fabricated parts that sit around and inside the engine. These are high-precision, high-temperature items where qualification history matters more than price alone.

7

Composites / CFRP

Carbon-fibre reinforced polymer and related lay-up, RTM, prepreg and out-of-autoclave processes used for weight-critical airframe and UAS structures. Suppliers typically arrive with process qualifications, cure-cycle capability and coupon test data rather than just brochure parts.

8

Precision machining and sheet metal

5-axis milling, turning, forming and fabrication of metallic detail parts, often in aluminium, titanium and stainless alloys. Buyers at the show ask for machine lists, tolerance capability, capacity headroom and ramp-up plans.

9

EN 9100 / AS9100

The aerospace quality management system standard (EN 9100 in Europe, AS9100 in North America) that suppliers must hold to be considered for programme work. It is the first item prime and Tier 1 buyers check on a supplier profile.

10

NADCAP accreditation

A third-party approval scheme for special processes such as heat treatment, surface finishing, chemical processing, welding and non-destructive testing. Without current NADCAP approval, a supplier cannot usually quote for aerospace special-process work.

11

MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul)

Aftermarket servicing, repair and overhaul of aircraft, engines, components and tooling. MRO providers attend Aeromart both as buyers of spares and tooling and as suppliers of repair capability to operators and lessors.

12

UAS (Uncrewed Aircraft System)

Drones and uncrewed aerial systems including the platform, payload, ground control and support equipment. The Toulouse programme gives UAS developers and their component suppliers a meeting track alongside the conventional aerospace supply chain.

13

Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) / eVTOL

Electric and hybrid-electric vertical take-off aircraft and the urban and regional air mobility operations around them. AAM content at Aeromart focuses on certification, battery and powertrain sourcing, lightweight structures and early production supply chain partners.

14

Matchmaking / pre-scheduled meetings

The convention format used at Aeromart: both sides publish a capability profile, request meetings through the platform, and accept or decline slots before the show. Your diary is fixed before you travel, so profile quality and early requests determine the outcome.

15

Supplier qualification / first article inspection

The process by which a buyer audits a new supplier and approves a first production part against the drawing and specification. It typically follows a successful Aeromart meeting by months, so bring documentation that shortens the audit stage.

16

MEETT

Toulouse's exhibition and convention centre in the Blagnac/Aussonne district, west of the city near Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. It is the venue for the Toulouse Aeromart edition, with airport-area hotels in Blagnac and Seilh a short transfer away.
