Guizhou Aviation Industry Corporation is a Guizhou-based AVIC aircraft group with long-running military and civil production lines. Guizhou provincial reporting describes China National Guizhou Aviation Industry (Group) as established in 1964, centered on aircraft, engines, automobiles, and related industrial products, and operating as a major national defense research and production base.

The manufacturer is most visible in this catalog through the FTC-2000G light combat aircraft and the broader JL-9 / FTC-2000 Mountain Eagle trainer family. China Daily reported that Guizhou Aviation Industry, an AVIC subsidiary in Anshun, specialized in trainer aircraft and unmanned aircraft when it announced the first FTC-2000G export contract in 2020.

Airframer also lists China National Guizhou Aviation Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. as the airframer for the JL-9 / FTC-2000 program and places the FTC-2000G within that family. That makes Guizhou's profile relevant to Chinese advanced trainer, lead-in fighter trainer, and export light-attack aircraft development.
