Aero East Europe
A Serbian aircraft manufacturer specializing in ready-to-fly ultralight and light aircraft.
Last updated August 25, 2026
Overview
Aero East Europe d.o.o., styled in some references as Aero-East-Europe, is a Serbian private limited company associated with the design and manufacture of ultralight and light aircraft. The company was based in Kraljevo and is identified in the available reference material as being located in Jagodina. Its aircraft business focuses on complete, ready-to-fly aircraft rather than only components or design services. The company is best known for the Sila family of light aircraft. The name Sila is described as an abbreviation of Serbian industry light aircraft and also corresponds to a Serbian word meaning force. The documented range includes the Sila 450 C and Sila 750 C cruiser models, the Sila 750 S short-takeoff-and-landing aircraft, the three-seat Sila 750 MT medical-transport configuration, and the four-seat Sila 950. These variants indicate an emphasis on small-aircraft applications spanning recreational and private flying, general aviation, specialized transport and operations requiring short-field capability. Aero East Europe’s design work has been associated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Belgrade. The relationship indicates an engineering and academic collaboration in aircraft development, although the available material does not establish its duration, contractual structure or specific technical outputs. In addition to aircraft production, the company conducts aircraft maintenance and aircraft-engine maintenance, giving it activities beyond new-aircraft manufacturing. The available references do not provide a verified founding year, founder, ownership details, production totals, sales figures, export markets, current leadership or confirmed present operating status. They also do not establish the launch dates, certification histories or production status of each Sila variant. Consequently, Aero East Europe is documented here as a Serbian light-aircraft manufacturer with an associated maintenance business, while unverified corporate and commercial details remain unspecified.
History
Aero East Europe is a Serbian aircraft-manufacturing company organized as a društvo sa ograničenom odgovornošću, the Serbian equivalent of a private limited-liability company. Reference material places its earlier base in Kraljevo and its later location in Jagodina. The sources supplied for this entry do not state when the company was founded or identify its founders, ownership, management or production scale. The company’s documented specialization is the design and manufacture of ultralight and light aircraft supplied in ready-to-fly form. This places it within the small-aircraft and general-aviation sector rather than commercial airline operations, large transport-aircraft production or engine manufacturing. Its principal aircraft family is the Sila line. Sila is explained as referring to Serbian industry light aircraft and also as a Serbian word meaning force. The documented Sila range includes the Sila 450 C and Sila 750 C cruiser aircraft, the Sila 750 S STOL model, the three-seat Sila 750 MT medical-transport aircraft and the four-seat Sila 950. The variants reflect several intended use cases, including recreational and private aviation, general aviation, short-field operations and specialized medical transport. The available reference does not provide reliable launch years, certification details, technical specifications, production numbers or evidence of which variants remain in production. Aero East Europe has also been described as undertaking design work with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Belgrade. No further details are available in the supplied material regarding the scope or chronology of that cooperation. Alongside new-aircraft design and manufacture, the company provides aircraft maintenance and aircraft-engine maintenance, suggesting an operational-support and servicing component to its business. The supplied sources do not establish whether the company is currently active, inactive or reorganized, and they do not provide verified information about customers, distributors, export markets, financial performance or regulatory milestones. Its present status is therefore recorded as unknown rather than inferred from the existence of historical aircraft references.
