Avioane Craiova S.A. ("Craiova Airplanes" in English) is an aeronautical company based in Ghercești, near Craiova, Romania. It has been involved in the manufacture of various military aircraft, including the IAR-93 Vultur ground-attack fighter, the IAR-99 advanced jet trainer/light attack aircraft, and the cancelled IAR-95 Spey fighter.
Avioane Craiova was established in 1972 to develop, manufacturing, and provide support for several military aircraft. Its services have been principally used by the Romanian Air Force, although export sales have also been pursued by the company. Since the start of the 2000s, the Romanian government has made persistent efforts to privatise Avioane Craiova.
