LETECKÉ ZÁVODY a.s. is the new official name of the merged LET and MORAVAN-AEROPLANES, famed for the Blanik and Zlin lines of sports and general aviation aircraft. The merged company started officially operating on 16 August 2001.
In the Press Announcement released on 23 August 2001, the vice-chairman Ing. Tomas Stepanek describes the new leader of Czech civil aviation industry and its goals - continuation of glider manufacturing, series production of the turboprop L-410 airplanes, and the successful line of Zlin sport and general aircraft.
The company has the ambitions of following the example of other successful aviation companies such as BOMBARDIER, TEXTRON-CESSNA, and AIRBUS.
The announcement cover shown on the left includes a number of airplanes already manufactured by LETECKÉ ZÁVODY a.s., plus some new ones under consideration. The word 'Výcvik' means 'Training', and 'Transport' does not need to be translated.
