the German Luftwaffe for technical support, while airport infrastructure, where some of its facilities were located, became targets of Allied bombing. After the war, KEA divisions produced a number of gliders but it eventually focused on maintenance work for the Greek Air Force with only limited construction activity - which went to the Hellenic Aerospace Industry (HAI) when the latter was founded. Nonetheless, KEA has produced since the 1990s a number of Pegasus UAVs, developed by HAI and a Greek State Research Institute. The historic company survives until today and is under direct Greek military command.
