Arlington, Va. The Aerospace Industries Association is presenting its prestigious Wings of Liberty Award September 18 to Rep. Harold Hal Rogers (R-Ky.), in recognition of his longtime support of the aerospace and defense industry.

Rep. Rogers is Chairman and a 30-year member of the House Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for oversight and passage of the annual appropriation bills that provide over $1 trillion annually to the federal government. Rogers has served on the Defense subcomittee, and as chairman of the Transportation, Commerce, Science, Justice and the Homeland Security subcommittees. During his tenure in office, he has been a strong advocate for national and homeland security, civil aviation and space programs.

The Wings of Liberty is our industrys highest award, said AIA President and CEO Marion C. Blakey. It is an honor to present it to Congressman Rogers who has been a tremendous leader of our cause and richly deserving of this years award. Through his leadership of Appropriations, he has served the House with great distinction and has always put national security first.

In response to receiving the Wings of Liberty Award, Rep. Rogers, said, I am honored to receive the Wings of Liberty award from the Aerospace Industries Association. Our nation is recognized as the global leader in defense systems and aerospace engineering due to the daily work of the innovative members of this industry. At a time when terrorist groups are growing in number and boldness around the world, we must continue to maintain the very best national defense efforts, which are heavily supported through aerospace technology. I commend the continued ingenuity and leadership of AIA, allowing this nation to be on the forefront of defense, air travel, and communication.

The Wings of Liberty award is presented annually to a member of Congress who has made significant contributions to help bolster aerospace and national defense. The award, which embodies the spirit of America and the drive to achieve any dream, will be made at a reception on Capitol Hill, one of several events celebrating National Aerospace Week. Past honorees include Senator Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), Rep. Howard P. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.), Senator Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Rep. Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), and Senator Daniel K. Inouye (D-Hawaii).

Turkish Aerospace to Sell 25% Stake in February IPO

Posted on by

Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc., an aircraft parts maker whose customers include Airbus Group NV (AIR) and Boeing Co. (BA), plans to sell a 25 percent stake in an initial public offering in February to raise money for investment.

TAI, which provides fuselage and wing parts for Airbus A400M military transport planes, will use financial results at the end of September to help set a price for the shares after postponing earlier IPO plans, Muharrem Dortkasli, chief executive officer of the Ankara-based company, said in an interview at an airshow in Istanbul today.

Turk Havacilik & Uzay Sanayii AS, as the state-owned company is known in Turkish, hired JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) and Istanbul-based brokers Is Yatirim Menkul Degerler AS (ISMEN) to prepare an IPO last year and then delayed a sale after volatility hit Turkeys financial markets in December, Dortkasli said. The lira depreciated to all-time lows against the dollar amid a corruption probe involving the government.

We still want the IPO and we want to use the proceeds in new investments, Dortkasli said. We are not doing it for urgent need of cash.

TAI is 55 percent-owned by the Turkish Armed Forces Foundation and 45 percent by the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries, two state entities.

TAIs revenue will probably rise to more than $1 billion this year from $913 million in 2013, Dortkasli said. About half of its sales are exports, he said. The company makes fuselage, wing and tail parts for Airbus and Boeing, and parts for military aircraft and helicopters as well as drones and satellites, he said.
