Boom Supersonic jet facility opens in Greensboro, bringing 2,400 jobs to region
According to its website, the Overture Superfactory on Piedmont Triad Parkway will serve as the final assembly line for Overture flight tests and customer delivery.
In 2022, Gov. Roy Cooper announced a $500 million investment from the company.
Boom Supersonic’s CEO previously told WRAL News the plan is to set up the Overture airliner manufacturing and assembling facility first and then begin production in 2024. The assembly line will be underway in 2025, and the first jet could take flight in 2026, according to the company.
Testing should be complete and flights should be ready for passengers by 2029.
The factory is expected to bring about 2,400 jobs to the region with an average pay of about $69,000.
The governor is expected to speak at 11 a.m. on Monday.
