On November 30, 2023, representatives from the sectoral press, including Defence Turkey Magazine (9 press members), were welcomed at Alp Aviation's facilities in Eskişehir. The purpose was to provide firsthand information about the company's organizational structure (business units), ongoing projects, and production facilities. The visit began with a briefing made by Alp Aviation's Ankara Coordinator and ALPTEKNİK AVIATION Vice Chairman Yılmaz GÜLDOĞAN, National Programs Manager Ahmet Cihan ALBAYRAK, and Engineering and Design Director Atilla KAYA. Following the briefing, the press representatives were given a comprehensive tour of Alp Aviation's facilities, where they gained insights into ongoing activities, technologies utilized, and the company's production infrastructure.

Alp Aviation, representing around 20% of Turkish aerospace industry exports, has solidified its position as a preferred partner for major global companies and organizations in the sector. This recognition stems from its technological prowess, extensive experience, versatile capabilities, vertical integration, professional approaches, and innovative products and services, all instrumental in shaping the aerospace industry's evolution. As Sikorsky's most successful global subsidiary, Alp Aviation oversees its subsidiary, ALPTEKNİK AVIATION, which serves as Sikorsky's authorized distributor for spare parts in Türkiye and the Turkic Republics.
