Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments classified in Aircraft Manufacturing focus on the complete aircraft or its overall systems rather than specific components. Engines and engine parts are classified separately in Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, while non-engine aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment belong in Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing. The boundary distinguishes those assembling or overhauling complete aircraft or major aircraft systems from those producing individual components or performing work on propulsion systems specifically.
