An airline grounded. Every passing hour has a cost. Every day of downtime weighs on
operations, on margins, on the promise made to passengers.
This is precisely the challenge that CorsoPatch® addresses — and it is what Air &
Cosmos chose to highlight in its Special Paris Air Show 2025 issue (No. 2927 – June
2025), at the heart of the world's largest aeronautics event.
At the show, as in the pages of the magazine, our technology's performance spoke for
itself:
• 40-minute repair time, compared to 8 hours with traditional liquid paint
• No hazards related to VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)

• Adoption by airlines
• Approval by the French Army and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety
Agency)
Civil and military: two worlds, one shared standard. Availability, speed, reliability. As
these markets converge, Corso Magenta is establishing itself as a partner of reference,
capable of meeting the most strategic challenges.
This double recognition at the Paris Air Show is not an end point. It is a signal that our
vision of aeronautical maintenance is becoming the norm.

Eight hours. That was, until recently, the time needed to repair an aircraft’s paint. Eight
hours during which an aircraft remains grounded, immobilized, unproductive. At Corso
Magenta, we bet that this constraint was not inevitable.
Today, with CorsoPatch®, this same operation is completed in under 40 minutes.
A technological breakthrough that the Magazine des Ingénieurs de l’Armement (No. 135
– June 2025) chose to feature in its special report on aeronautical subcontracting. A
recognition that honors years of commitment and deeply honors us.
Behind this achievement lies a true revolution in the approach to aeronautical
maintenance:
• A dry-application process, with no odor or emissions, that transforms working
conditions for ground crews
• Approval by the French Army and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety
Agency), guarantees of uncompromising standards
• International adoption already underway with several airlines
But beyond the figures, CorsoPatch® embodies a conviction shared by every one of our
teams: the French aeronautics industry has the means to innovate differently, and to
redefine the standards of an entire sector.
