Utva Aviation Industry (Serbian: Утва Авио Индустрија, romanized: Utva Avio Industrija), widely recognized as UTVA[lower-alpha 1], is a Serbian enterprise specializing in the production of general aviation aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles. It operates as a subsidiary of Yugoimport SDPR and is based in Pančevo.
History
Founded on 5 June 1937 in Zemun, which became part of Pančevo in 1940, Utva initially focused on manufacturing basic gliders. By 1939, the company had diversified its output to include light piston-engine airplanes. The facility suffered extensive destruction during the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999.
In 2017, the Serbian defense firm Yugoimport SDPR acquired a controlling interest in Utva, obtaining approximately 96% ownership of the company’s shares.[2]
