This expansion of Honda Aero is expected to create 20 to 30 new jobs over the next few years. HAI expects to complete the facility by early 2017. "Honda Aero is very excited to expand upon the strong foundation we have established in North Carolina and increase our production capabilities' said Honda Aero President Atsukuni Waragai. HAI currently produces the HF 120 engine for GE Honda Aero Engines, LLC, building and serving the engine that powers the Honda jet at its Burlington facility.
