Aeralis, a British aerospace company, has assembled a notable industry team and completed significant design work for its modular trainer jet, which is being considered as a potential successor to the UK's Hawk aircraft. The company has selected Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire as the site for its final assembly line, a move that could revive full-scale aircraft manufacturing in the region. Local MP Alan Gemmell described the project as a "generational opportunity" for Ayrshire, emphasizing the growing skills pipeline at Glasgow Prestwick Airport. Aeralis and regional stakeholders are urging the UK government to commit to the development program to advance the project. Meanwhile, Türkiye's Hürjet trainer aircraft is also among the candidates being considered to replace the UK's Hawk, highlighting competition in the market for advanced trainer jets.
