Subcarpathian Aviation Valley — production facility for components for global brands

Rzeszów and its surroundings are an undisputed centre of advanced aerospace industry in Poland. The Subcarpathian region attracts major international concerns — from engine manufacturers MTU Aero Engines (MTU Maintenance & Overhaul production team) to subcontractor bases for the world's largest aircraft engine manufacturers. The Aviation Valley also attracts investment from Goodrich (now Utmost Aerospace) and related supplier factories for Pratt & Whitney in Kalisz.

Export support infrastructure is extensive:

• Rzeszów-Jasionka Airport — multi-purpose hub for air cargo transportation
• EURO-PARK Mielec SSE — special economic zone with certification for the defence and aerospace industry
• Transport infrastructure: fast national roads, rail connections to EU borders
• Supplier ecosystem: testing laboratories, logistics firms specialising in dangerous goods transport (DGR, IATA)

Export from this region to the United Kingdom — mainly to Rolls-Royce facilities in Derby, Airbus plants in Bristol or suppliers for the defence sector — requires specialist customs clearance and knowledge of regulations concerning aerospace components.

Aerospace components (HS 88 classification — machinery, electromechanical apparatus, spare parts) are subject to special export procedures. Each consignment directed to a recipient in the United Kingdom must be preceded by:
