AVINCIS AVIATION ESPAÑA SA
AVINCIS AVIATION ESPAÑA SA is a Sociedad Anónima registered in Spain under registration number (CIF) A03125010, with its registered office in Mutxamel, Alicante. The company was incorporated in 1983 and its current status in the Spanish Commercial Registry (Registro Mercantil) is Active.

These figures describe the consolidated Avincis group and are not reported separately for this individual Spanish legal entity.
The Avincis businesses, including this entity, were acquired from Babcock International Group plc by Ancala Partners in a transaction completed on 1 March 2023, valued at approximately €136.2 million. Following completion, the Avincis brand name was reinstated across the acquired businesses.
