Aviation industry
In addition to the former Tablada military airfield on the other side of the city, San Pablo is an Airbus site .
In San Pablo, in the initial phase of the Spanish Civil War in Germany, twin-engine bombers of the then latest generation of the Luftwaffe ( He 111 , Ju 86 , Do 17 ) were assembled before they were transferred to the Tablada airfield for the test bomber squadron 88 .
After the war the Bf 109 was built here under license by Hispano Aviación , the production site was in the area of today's civil terminal .
After the Second World War , Prof. Messerschmitt constructed his second, after the Me 262 , mass-produced fighter aircraft with turbine propulsion in Spain , the Hispano Aviación HA-200 , which was assembled in San Pablo . Its maiden flight took place almost two decades after Messerschmitt's most popular aircraft type, the Bf 109 , took off for its first combat missions from the Tablada, just a few kilometers away.
Hispano Aviación became part of the CASA in 1972 .
At the beginning of the 21st century, new final assembly lines were built in the south-east of the airport area for the twin-engine transport aircraft and the A400M Atlas developed by CASA, which was now part of EADS (now Airbus) .
Incidents
On May 9, 2015, an Airbus A400M military transporter ( aircraft registration number EC-403 ) crashed shortly after take-off during a test flight and crashed into a field 4 km northeast of the airport. There were 6 people on board, 4 of whom died. The aircraft was destined for delivery to the Turkish Air Force. The pilot still managed to lower the machine into an open field. Shortly after the accident, Airbus announced that a problem with the engine control software in FADEC was probably responsible for the accident and ruled out a design error.
