On Thursday, the North Carolina Department of Commerce’s Economic Investment Committee announced a big aircraft development project will be coming to Greensboro. JetZero has announced they will open a factory at Piedmont Triad International Airport.

The project is expected to bring billions of dollars of economic impact to the region and will create 14,500 jobs. The company will receive an incentive package of nearly $76 million over 20  years from Guilford County. JetZero will also receive a grant from the state for $1.17 billion.

JetZero was founded in 2021 by aviation legend Mark Page and startup veteran Tom O’Leary, in Long Beach, California. In early 2024, the company expanded into a 285,000 square foot, seven-building headquarters, home to our business operations, design team, cabin lab, fabrication shop, scale model program, and aero labs, with room for continued growth.
