The aeronautical manufacturing sector represents one of the most important industries in Andalusia in the South of Spain. The experted influence in its surroundings has reached a lot of levels, from the small familiar business to the universities, and the metrology labs in the region. In this paper, an analysis and reflection on the present situation of these laboratories is made, the challenges faced and the points to consider for the establishment of future strategies are outlined. Andalusia is the 3rd most important aeronautical centre in Europe after Toulouse and Hamburg. Due to the international character of their work, the necessities in the matter of metrology of EADS-CASA have marked the rate of development of this science in their industrial aspect in the region. At the university of Cadiz there are three metrology laboratories, integrated in the Metrology division of the CIATD (Centre of Applied Research and Technological Development), one for each dimensional, electrical and mechanical areas. That covers a wide range of demands for the aeronautical companies. The three labs carry out their activities in their own facilities as well as in those of their clients, in special the lab of electrical metrology that makes the certification of thermal facilities of EADS-CASA and Airbus Spain in Cadiz.
