The door is open for aerospace in the Golden Isles of Georgia.

Georgia is home to over 800 aerospace companies resulting in a $57.5B economic impact. The collaboration from industry leaders, workforce programs, and the government continues to create new opportunities for growth in this important industry.

The Golden Isles participates in the success of Georgia’s aerospace industry, especially for maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) firms. Aerospace facilities from Gulfstream, Omega Aviation, and Stambaugh Aviation have all chosen to locate and grow at the Brunswick-Golden Isles Airport (BQK).

The business-focused climate, workforce support, and low-cost of business are critical factors for these firms selecting the Golden Isles.  

In a recent Georgia Trend interview, Derek Zimmerman, president of Gulfstream Customer Support, credits the region’s focus on aerospace as a factor for growing Gulfstream’s presence here. “Ease of doing business is one reason Gulfstream made Georgia the center of its global business development strategy. Operations in Savannah and Brunswick represent about half the company’s existing capacity right now”. https://www.georgiatrend.com/2019/12/01/reaching-new-heights/ 

To prepare for the growth of existing aerospace firms, and support new companies, the Golden Isles educational partners work closely with local aerospace employers to promote career opportunities in this industry. Additionally, for qualified businesses, tailored training programs are available.
