Airo Aviation FZ-LLC is an Emirati aircraft manufacturer based in the Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone. The company specializes in the manufacture of ultralight aircraft in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1][2][3][4]

The company was incorporated in 2006 to produce sport aircraft in the United Arab Emirates for the European market using German certification. The company has modern numerical control manufacturing machinery.[3]

The company produces two designs. The Airo 1 is a licensed development of the Italian Euro Ala JetFox microlight, while the Airo 5 fibreglass two seat light touring aircraft is a licensed version of the Urban Air Samba. Both aircraft are intended for the US light-sport aircraft market, but as of September 2016 neither appeared on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved LSAs.[1][2][5][6]
