Honda Aircraft, which last month green-lighted the HondaJet 2600 as its second model, has confirmed plans to build the new light jet at its Greensboro, North Carolina facilities and to invest $55.7 million to accommodate that production. Sitting on 133 acres in Greensboro, Honda Aircraft’s global headquarters campus spans more than 737,000 sq ft with five buildings.

Announcing the expansion plans this week, North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said the addition of the 2600 line will create 280 jobs and increase the company’s total investment in the state to more than $335 million. “This decision shows our state’s commitment to developing a skilled workforce, not only in the key industry of aerospace with a flagship brand like HondaJet, but in the entire advanced manufacturing arena,” he said.
