I’m happy to share our eighth annual North Carolina Aviation and Aerospace Directory. As you will see by the number of companies and organizations on the following pages, the industry continues to fly high.
Global players in the aerospace industry, such as Boeing, Cessna, GE Aviation, Honda Aircraft, Lockheed Martin, Boom Supersonic and Jet Zero, call North Carolina home. They choose to work here because of connectivity, a skilled workforce and a business-friendly environment.
North Carolina boasts the country’s second-fastest growing aerospace manufacturing sector, which includes maintenance and military aviation enterprises, 14 commercial-airline operators and 26 air-freight companies. And the state is at the forefront of innovations that are propelling the growth of unmanned aircraft systems, better known as drones.
According to the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Division of Aviation, N.C.’s 72 public airports now contribute more than $88 billion in economic impact each year, which is 11% of North Carolina’s Gross Domestic Product (total output of goods and services).
North Carolina airports support 427,000 jobs across the state. They generate $34 billion in personal income and $4.8 billion in state and local tax revenue every year.
The directory listings include regional airports statewide, along with some private ones that are open to the public.
I’d like to thank our sponsors for making this directory, too. We couldn’t have done it without their support. Here’s to the thriving aviation and aerospace industry that keeps North Carolina first in flight.

North Carolina’s first in flight history with major operations in the Carolina Core, a 120 mile corridor stretching from west of Winston-Salem through the Triad and down to Fayetteville. Aerospace employment continues to take off in the Carolina Core, increasing 40% between 2014 and 2019 to more than 15,600 working at aerospacerelated companies.




Among the 200-plus aerospace and aviation companies in the Carolina Core is Honda Aircraft Company, which established its Greensboro headquarters in 2006 and operates R&D, manufacturing and customer service facilities that together employ 1,500 associates throughout the region. Other major operations include HAECO Americas, with 600,00 square feet of facilities including a new hangar that is one of the largest in the HAECO family, and Textron Aviation, operating one of only 15 service centers for Cessna business jets worldwide.
TALENT HITS NEW HEIGHTS


Aerospace and aviation companies tap into the Carolina Core’s skilled talent pool to design, engineer and move their next big innovation. “Talent in the Carolina Core has a strong work ethic,” says Michimasa Fujino, former president and CEO of Honda Aircraft Company. The area’s talent pool is rapidly growing and projected to add 1 million people over the next 25 years to its current population of 8 million. Most recently, Boom Supersonic selected Piedmont Triad International Airport as the location for its manufacturing facility for its new supersonic passenger aircraft, planned to begin production in 2025.



Companies have access to more than 30 colleges and universities that enroll 250,000 students, with aviation-related training concentrated at area community colleges. Guilford Technical Community College’s Aviation Campus is one of the most modern and best-equipped aviation maintenance training facilities in the Southeast. At Forsyth Technical Community College, a new $16 million aviation center will accommodate eight airframes and help meet the growing demand for aviation technicians and mechanics, with the first class of 25 students beginning in Fall 2020.
The Carolina Core has several industrial sites ready for aerospace and aviation operations. At the Piedmont Triad International Airport, the PTI Aerospace Megasite’s 1,000 acres include runway access and preliminary approval for development by the EPA. Other commercial and regional airports along the Carolina Core offer development sites with airfield access and plenty of industrial and business parks for off-airport operations.

At the heart of North Carolina’s Triad region, a rapidly expanding aerospace hub boasting nearly 200 aviation companies, Guilford Technical Community College (GTCC) has established itself as a cornerstone of aviation education.



With a legacy spanning over five decades, GTCC’s Aviation Program has become an essential talent pipeline for the industry, producing skilled professionals equipped to excel in various aviation careers. The college’s comprehensive approach covers all aspects of the field, from piloting and maintenance to manufacturing and management, ensuring graduates are versatile and wellprepared for the multifaceted demands of modern aviation.




GTCC’s commitment to cutting-edge aviation education is further exemplified by its ambitious expansion plans. The college is set to break ground on a new 70,000-square-foot aviation training facility at its Cameron Campus in the second half of 2025. This state-of-the-art facility, designed by LS3P architects, represents a $36.4 million investment funded by both the state of North Carolina and Guilford County. Scheduled to open for classes in January 2027, this new building will significantly enhance GTCC’s capacity to train the next generation of aviation professionals.
The college’s current facilities are already impressive, including two dedicated aviation campuses near Piedmont Triad International Airport. The T.H. Davis Aviation Center, with its expansive hangar, and the Ceasar Cone II Aviation Building, housing advanced flight simulators, provide students with an immersive learning environment and unparalleled access to real-world aviation operations.



What truly sets GTCC apart is its robust network of industry partnerships. Collaborations with aviation giants such as HondaJet, HAECO, Boeing, Marshall, and SpaceX ensure that the curriculum remains cutting-edge and aligned with industry needs. These partnerships also provide students with invaluable internship opportunities, often leading to direct employment upon graduation.

GTCC’s program offerings are diverse, including Career Pilot Technology, Aviation Management, Aviation Systems Technology, Aviation Electronics Technology, and Aerospace Manufacturing Technology. This wide range of specializations allows students to tailor their education to their specific career aspirations.
As the aviation industry continues to evolve, GTCC’s Aviation Program remains at the forefront, adapting to new technologies and industry trends. By combining comprehensive education, hands-on training, and strong industry connections, GTCC is not just training students – it’s shaping the future of aviation, one graduate at a time.

Lenoir Community College is charting a bold course for aviation education in North Carolina, aligning its programs with the demands of a growing industry. With construction of the Senator Jim Perry Aviation Center for Excellence (ACE), the Aviation Academy for high schoolers, and recent FAA certification for the Airframe program, LCC is poised to make a lasting impact.



The FAA certification marks a significant milestone, ensuring the Airframe program equips students with the skills required by local employers such as flyExclusive, Drakken, Mountain Air Cargo, and Fleet Readiness Center East. The program has already enrolled two full cohorts, with a waitlist signaling strong demand. The Powerplant certification will follow suit once ACE opens its doors. Complementing the Airframe program are LCC’s offerings in aviation management; manned, unmanned, and career pilot programs; and industrial systems technology.



LCC is also extending its reach to high school students through the Aviation Academy. This initiative provides free college education for juniors and seniors, creating a seamless path to a two-year aviation degree and offering transfer pathways to four-year institutions, including partnerships with East Carolina University and Elizabeth City State University.



All programs currently operate from the Aviation and Advanced Manufacturing Center at the NC Global TransPark in Kinston. However, a new chapter begins with the construction of the Senator Jim Perry Aviation Center for Excellence. This state-of-the-art facility will feature advanced classrooms, maintenance labs, and a heated aircraft hangar. Scheduled to open this spring, ACE will offer degree programs, shortterm training, and interdisciplinary collaboration, serving as a hub for innovation and research in aviation.
With these advancements, LCC continues to elevate its aviation programs, preparing students for high-demand careers while contributing to the region’s economic growth. By investing in cuttingedge facilities and forward-thinking programs, LCC is securing its place as a leader in aviation education.

For decades, Piedmont Triad International Airport (PTI) has stood out in North Carolina not just as a transportation hub, but as a uniquely structured economic development enterprise. Unlike traditional commercial airports whose missions often stop at passenger service and airfield operations, PTI operates with a broader mission: to be a catalyst for major industry, global investment, and longterm regional competitiveness.



This intentional approach, rooted in a master plan designed around industrial opportunity, has fundamentally reshaped the Triad’s economic landscape.
The results are impossible to miss. Over the past several years, PTI has landed some of the nation’s most significant aerospace and advanced manufacturing investments, including Boom Supersonic’s Overture Superfactory, JetZero’s engineering and production program, Marshall USA’s engineering and maintenance facility, and continued growth across Honda Aircraft Company, AAR, FedEx, Textron/ Cessna, and more. These projects represent billions of dollars in capital investment and position the region as one of America’s most dynamic aerospace clusters.




But PTI’s impact extends beyond announcements. What differentiates the airport is its long-view strategy: acquiring land early, preparing sites in advance, building industrial-scale infrastructure, and partnering closely with community and state leaders. In an era where speed-to-market determines global competitiveness, PTI has created an environment where companies can move from vision to vertical construction faster and with greater certainty.



That strategy has included new taxiway systems, road improvements, utilities, and site grading, designed specifically to support additional mega-projects. The goal is clear: ensure that when global manufacturers are ready to invest, PTI is ready to deliver.
Just as significant is the future workforce anchored around the airport. Partnerships with community colleges and local universities and new training pipelines are providing a steady flow of talent in aviation maintenance, engineering, automation, and advanced manufacturing. PTI is not only attracting employers, it is helping position North Carolina for the next century of aerospace innovation.


As the airport’s physical footprint transforms, so does its role in shaping the region’s economic identity. PTI has become a place where industry builds, innovators gather, and North Carolina competes on a global stage. More than an airport, it is a platform for possibility and a model for how airports across the country can redefine their purpose for the century ahead.

The North Carolina Global TransPark (NCGTP) in Kinston, North Carolina, is a 2,500-acre industrial and aviation hub that drives aerospace, defense, and economic development advancements. The park is an ideal location featuring the Kinston Regional Jetport Part 139-certified airport with an 11,500-foot runway, over 500 development-ready acres, rail access, and customized workforce training programs on-site.




Draken International, a leading provider of adversary air services, is among NCGTP’s prominent tenants. Draken’s fleet includes 13 A-4 Skyhawks, 11 Mirage F1s, and 3 L-159 Honey Badgers, enabling the company to conduct up to 1,500 sorties annually. These training missions prepare U.S. pilots for real-world combat scenarios. “The infrastructure investment in runway, taxiway, and hangars showed us that North Carolina and Kinston are serious about growing their aviation industry,” says Jose “Hoser” Monteagudo, Vice President and General Manager of Draken.





Fleet Readiness Center East (FRC East) also plays a critical role at NCGTP. After establishing a satellite office in 2021 to maintain Air Force UH-1 “Huey” helicopters, FRC East is expanding to a 75-acre site with 700,000 square feet of facilities and over 400 full-time employees. This expansion will support maintenance for Navy and Marine Corps C/KC-130J Super Hercules, C/KC-130T Hercules, and Air Force HH-60W Jolly Green II aircraft. “Current projections have the aircrafts’ service lives stretching until 2064 and will benefit the community well into the future,” says Matthew McCann, head of FRC East’s Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul Logistics Department.
NCGTP began constructing a new fuel farm in 2023 to further bolster its capabilities. Scheduled for completion in February 2025, the facility will have the potential capacity of 500,000 gallons of aircraft fuel and meet Department of Defense specifications to support military fuel needs while enabling future revenue-generating opportunities for the airport.


These projects underscore the N.C. Global TransPark’s critical role in supporting defense-serving contractors. By aligning public resources and private investment, NCGTP strengthens national security and drives innovation and economic growth, ensuring long-term prosperity for Eastern North Carolina.
