Alder Koten at Farnborough 2026: what Silvia Flores and Jose Ruiz saw on the ground

The IMD International Search Group's Aerospace Practice was on the tarmac in Hampshire this week. Two of its senior operators — Silvia Flores in Monterrey and Jose Ruiz in Houston — describe the quiet conversations that don't make the headlines: how program transfers into Mexico are being staffed, what a technical VP looks like when a line moves from a US or European plant into the Bajío, and which Mexican aerospace announcements from the show floor actually change the leadership map.

Nuevo León led Mexico in H1 investment announcements — US$5.58 billion, one in eight dollars

The Ministry of Economy's semester tally is in: US$46.96B announced nationwide, and Nuevo León took 12% of it. The projects are pointed at advanced manufacturing, electromobility, logistics, and energy — with 6,120 direct jobs attached. What's less obvious in the headline: the state's ability to keep converting announcements into ground-broken sites is what will decide whether this ranking holds through H2.
