Aerospace division (82.7% of turnover) at +15.1% benefits from the exchange rate for €1.8 million, from a strong growth (+14.6%) of business aviation and from a favorable basis of comparison. The thermoplastic and aircraft interior activities benefit from the ramp-up of recent programs and from circumstantial overstocking to cope with Brexit.

Simulation division (15.7% of turnover) jumps by 55.1% thanks to the SYDAC acquisition in August 2018. At constant exchange rate and perimeter, the progression comes to +19.7% driven by the subsidiary A.V. Simulation which increases strongly despite the discrepancies in the large simulators system businesses.

Vehicle division (1.6% of turnover) increases by 5.6% (of which +16.1% at the 2nd quarter).
