Abstract: This study examines the current landscape, prevailing challenges, and strategic initiatives of Malaysia’s aerospace industry, focusing specifically on infrastructure development, technological and innovation, talent readiness, regulatory support and sustainability initiatives. It seeks to elucidate the industry’s potential growth trajectory, emphasizing the necessity for alignment with international standards and highlighting the pivotal role of government-industry collaboration. The research analyzes academic publications, policy documentation, industry reports, and relevant case studies, synthesizing critical insights to outline key trends, challenges, and opportunities. Findings indicate significant growth opportunities for Malaysia, driven by its advantageous geographic positioning, governmental policies, and infrastructure investments. Several critical challenges emerge, notably the requirement for advanced research and development facilities, cohesive integration within the supply chain, effective technology transfer, and robust talent development initiatives. The study’s insights serve as actionable recommendations for policymakers, industry stakeholders, and educational institutions, providing strategic guidance on enhancing research and development capabilities, reinforcing supply chain robustness, and developing skilled workforce capacities, thereby contributing to the sustainable growth of Malaysia’s aerospace sector.
