Paris Air Show 2025: Corso Magenta Confirms Its Place Among Aeronautics Innovators
Paris Air Show 2025: Corso Magenta Confirms Its Place
Among Aeronautics Innovators
An aircraft grounded. Every passing hour has a cost. Every day of downtime impacts operations, margins, and the promise made to passengers.
This is precisely the challenge that CorsoPatch® addresses — and 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, and reliability.
As these markets converge, Corso Magenta is establishing itself as a reference partner, capable of meeting the most strategic challenges.
This double recognition at the Paris Air Show is not an endpoint. It is a signal: our vision of aeronautical maintenance is becoming the norm.

Eight hours. Until recently, that was the time required to repair an aircraft’s paint. Eight hours during which the aircraft remained grounded — immobilized, unproductive. At Corso Magenta, we believed this constraint was not inevitable.
Today, with CorsoPatch®, the same operation is completed in under 40 minutes.
A true technological breakthrough, featured by the Magazine des Ingénieurs de l’Armement (No. 135 – June 2025) in its special report on aeronautical subcontracting. A recognition that reflects years of commitment and is a source of great pride for our teams.
Behind this achievement lies a profound transformation in the approach to aeronautical maintenance:
- A dry-application process, with no odor or emissions, improving working conditions for ground crews
- Approval by the French Army and EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency), ensuring the highest standards
- International adoption already underway with several airlines
Beyond the figures, CorsoPatch® embodies a strong conviction shared by all our teams: the French aeronautics industry has the capacity to innovate differently — and to redefine the standards of an entire sector.

CorsoPatch Aircraft is a dry paint repair solution targeted at local damage on aircraft wings and fuselage.
It was originally developed with the French Army, Airbus and Air France Industry as a solution for fast paint repair during line maintenance or while in operation.
The solution works by sticking the patch which is comprised of application tape, paint, adhesive and liner on to the
damaged part of the aircraft’s surface as an alternative to applying different layers of paint for the repair.
The patch can be applied on all types of surfaces, including paint, metal and composites, and is 10 times faster than a liquid paint repair solution, taking 40 minutes as opposed to 10 hours to take effect.
“The repair is permanent,” explains a spokesperson for Corso Magenta, adding that a “recontrol” is needed every two years. “So far, the longest period has been a year, over 1,000 flight hours, but the aircraft were then repainted.
We will soon have feedback from clients who have used it for a longer period of time.”
France-based Corso Magenta tested CorsoPatch Aircraft with easyJet and Air Corsica in 2021, with nearly 10 other
airlines using the patch since and more expressing interest, says the paint solutions provider.
