Insights from Aviation Forum Munich: Collaboration, Sustainability, and Innovation in Focus   Our Business Development Manager Ausra Prasauskaite attended the Aviation Forum in Munich last week, where one message was clear: no single company can solve aviation’s biggest challenges alone. Here are a few key takeaways that resonate deeply:   👉 Safety and Quality Are Non-Negotiable: Safety remains the industry's foundation, and it goes hand in hand with quality. As always, it’s the core of what drives progress in aviation.   👉 Sustainability Is a Multi-Layered Challenge: From materials to engines, regulation to recycling, the path to net-zero aviation requires collaboration across the entire industry. Future generations depend on decisions made today!   👉 Collaboration for Performance Leaps: Whether it’s AI-enabled solutions or circular economy integration, progress in aviation relies on deeper partnerships. The next generation of aircraft will be developed with a more collaborative approach, involving innovations from design to recycling.   👉 AI as an Enabler, Not the Solution: AI isn’t the answer, but it’s a tool that helps us find answers faster. Its potential applications in production and sustainability are expanding exponentially.   Which of these topics are you focusing on the most in 2025?   #AviationForum

Let’s talk about making our businesses bigger and better! Ausra Prasauskaite will represent SKYCO at the Aviation Forum in Munich next week. She’s excited to discuss business development, innovation in manufacturing, and connect with industry colleagues. Want to schedule a meeting? Reach out to us here on LinkedIn or email Ausra directly at ausra@skyco.aero. #AviationForum

Better together 🤝🤝🤝 Thank you to the Aptoz team for trusting us with this project! We love getting a behind-the-scenes look at mechanical testing. 🤓

Design Engineering vs. Design for Manufacturing: What Sets SKYCO Apart Design engineering is critical to every project. At SKYCO, we go a step further with our Design for Manufacturing services. As an EASA Part 21G organization with a highly skilled in-house design team, we offer more than just design solutions—we optimize for manufacturing from the start. When a project requires it, our team collaborates with DOA clients to develop designs and drawings tailored specifically for our in-house production capabilities and streamlined material supply. This approach allows for reduced lead times and cost-efficiency, as designs are created with our full production process in mind, ensuring they’re both practical and high-quality. The difference? Traditional design engineering focuses on creating a concept that meets specifications. Design for Manufacturing, on the other hand, integrates the production process early on, minimizing redesigns and delays. Reach out to us to learn how our approach can bring your next project to life, faster and more efficiently.

What you need to know about CNC Flatbed Milling? SKYCO specializes in CNC flatbed milling of panels up to 2700 x 1700 mm. Here’s how our CNC flatbed milling machine stands out compared to other methods: 👉 Material Flexibility: Handles metals and composites, giving you more options. 👉 High Precision: Delivers tight tolerances and clean finishes. 👉 Complex Shapes: Mills intricate designs and large components accurately. 👉 Efficiency: Fast setups and consistent quality, from prototypes to production. Choosing CNC flatbed milling means choosing reliability, precision, and efficiency. If your next project demands top-notch quality, let’s discuss how SKYCO can meet your needs.

Sometimes magic happens. We shipped the product to our client just a few days after final design confirmation—a huge time savings compared to the usual several weeks long lead time for this particular product. Here’s how we saved over twenty days in project time for both our partner DOA and their end client: 👉 Our in-house POA design team was on board from Day 1. 👉 We followed a “design for manufacturing” approach, immediately planning materials and production for maximum time and cost efficiency. 👉 We phased material orders and began production as each design segment was approved. 👉 By the time the final design was confirmed, 90% of the manufacturing was already complete. If you need a reliable production partner that’s just as strong in design as in manufacturing, let’s talk! Email us at ausra@skyco.aero or comment "SEND HELP" below, and we’ll make it happen. 😉

Can we do this every month, please? 🙏 As a young company no words can describe how thrilled and grateful we feel after these two days. Thanks to everyone we met and every one who helped create this vibrant energy at MRO Europe. SKYCO is just getting started! #MROEurope

Building Bridges in Aviation At the recent KTU University conference, our Managing Director, Gytis Leonavicius, shared insights on strengthening collaboration between the aviation industry and young talent. By bridging the gap between education and industry needs, he highlighted the importance of real-world exposure, mentorship, and direct engagement to empower the next generation of aviation professionals. The team is proud to see Gytis leading the way for future innovators in aviation! 💡✈️

Meet Linas Leonavičius – SKYCO’s Technical Director and Co-Founder Linas’s journey into aviation began in an unconventional way—helping his father, a prominent figure in Lithuania’s aviation industry, with some basic design work. What started as a favor quickly transformed into a passion. “I didn’t understand it at first,” he admits, “but once I started, there was nothing else I wanted to do.” Together with his brother Gytis Leonavicius and their father Kestutis, Linas co-founded SKYCO, turning their shared passion for aviation into a thriving business. While some might see working with family as a challenge, Linas believes there’s no better team to build a company with than his own family. “This experience has taught me to release my own ego and prioritize collaboration above all else,” he says. Linas is passionate about creating innovative solutions, viewing aviation design as the ultimate engineering challenge that combines creativity with technical expertise. At SKYCO, he channels this passion into every project, believing that each one offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in this industry.
