Question 9906 — defense

Summary

Mr. Édouard Bénard draws the attention of the Minister of the Armed Forces to the end of the C-130 Hercules program by 2029 to which the Clermont-Ferrand Aeronautics Industrial Workshop (AIA) is linked. While the AIAC has played a central role in maintaining operational condition (MCO) of the C-130 Hercules since 2018, this contract must end in 2029 without any lasting alternative being offered to the approximately 500 employees concerned. Today, the partial transfer of activity to the A-400M combined with the cessation of the commissioning of several other aircraft (e.g. Mirage 2000, Alpha-jet) does not make it possible to cover all the missions formerly carried out under the contract with the C-130. In addition, doubts persist regarding the requalification of certain workers, including boilermakers who represent around a third of the total workforce concerned. Finally, the AIAC today represents 15% of the MCO of the Aeronautics Industrial Service (SIAé) and employees are demanding a consistent workload, that is to say the end of increased competition with the private sector which happens to be more costly. In this context, he asks what concrete measures the Government is considering to secure jobs, absorb this reduction in activity and guarantee distribution fairness of charges between the public and private sectors.
