Arizona is a growing innovation hub, geographically situated between our existing operations in Southern California and New Mexico. [Locating in Mesa] will allow us to accelerate progress from conceptual design to production to final assembly at scale as we capitalize on the many advantages Mesa and the Greater Phoenix area offer.

Boeing’s Mesa facility has been a cornerstone of Arizona’s aerospace community for more than four decades. As the production hub for the AH64 Apache and home to advanced fabrication centers for wiring, composites, and metals, Mesa plays a central role in rotorcraft advancements while creating jobs, skills, and longterm community value. Boeing’s strong partnerships with the city, local industry, educational institutions, and its engaged workforce make Mesa an ideal place for Boeing to grow and innovate.

Mesa stood out as a great location for a number of reasons. It has great access to infrastructure, opportunities for renewable energy development, strong talent for both construction and operations, and great community partners.

Mesa Gateway Airport is an ideal location for Gulfstream’s newest MRO facility. Not only is it an established airport for business aviation operators, its infrastructure and size provide a great location for both Gulfstream and our customers. The State of Arizona, the City of Mesa and the airport authority have been incredibly welcoming and supportive of our efforts to expand our service capabilities.

Mesa was just a great fit in terms of support from the mayor and his team, and we are very familiar given this is our third manufacturing facility in the Valley, so we know the area and we thought, great access to talent and universities, and a great place to grow.

The collaboration we have already experienced with the local community has been exceptional. With a diverse and rich talent base, we are able to meet our commitment to drive innovation and deliver value to our customers.
