Airo Aviation FZ-LLC is an Emirati aircraft manufacturer based in the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone. The company specializes in the manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.
The company was incorporated in 2006 to produce sport aircraft in the United Arab Emirates for the European market using German certification. The company has modern numerical control manufacturing machinery.
The company produces two designs. The Airo 1 is a licensed development of the Italian Euro Ala JetFox microlight, while the Airo 5 fibreglass two seat light touring aircraft is a licensed version of the Urban Air Samba. Both aircraft are intended for the US light-sport aircraft market, but as of September 2016 neither appeared on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved LSAs.
