Robin Aircraft Goes into Liquidation

Lesser-Known French LSA Manufacturer Fails in Search for Buyers

Light plane manufacturer Robin Aircraft has been pushed into liquidation by way of French court order after the judges overseeing the firm’s troubled state declined the bids offered for the classic company.

“The Dijon Commercial Court has just ordered the liquidation of Robin Aircraft and declined, for insufficiency or incompatibility, the three proposed takeover bids,” said CEO Casimir Pillissier in a final swan song via Robin Aircraft’s presswire. “A cold shower falls on the shoulders of all those who participated in or encouraged the adventure. The harshness of the times and the human limitations of the crew force us to get down on one knee. But they don’t force us to give up.”

Owners and operators of Robin Aircraft and CAP10 planes won’t find themselves left out in the cold thanks to an arrangement with CEAPR, a local enterprise that has provided parts and support for the company’s work for years already. Pellissier said the firm is “standing fast, serving all the proud owners of Robin and CAP aircraft.

“CEAPR will take on board everyone from Robin who can and will continue to cherish, take care, and promote the unique know-how amassed over so many years by so many talented craftsmen.”

Despite the condition of Robin today, it isn’t entirely down for the count.

“And when tomorrow the community of DR400 and CAP10 enthusiasts requests it and market conditions allow it,” he added. “We will be ready.”
