Jet Zero Chooses Greensboro

JetZero Chooses Greensboro: A New Era of Growth for the Piedmont Triad

The Triad is buzzing with excitement following JetZero’s landmark announcement on June 12, 2025, revealing its intent to establish a cutting-edge airplane manufacturing and final assembly facility at the Piedmont Triad International Airport. This monumental decision marks the largest economic development project in North Carolina’s history, promising an unprecedented boom in growth for the region. Several NAI Piedmont Triad brokers and staff were present at the announcement, witnessing this pivotal moment firsthand.

JetZero, an innovative aviation company, plans to invest over $4.7 billion in Greensboro. This massive investment is projected to create more than 14,560 high-tech jobs in Guilford County by 2063, with an impressive average annual salary of $89,340. The sheer scale of this project is expected to generate an annual payroll impact exceeding $1.3 billion for the region and boost North Carolina’s economy by an estimated $259.4 billion over the grant’s term.

Construction on the facility is slated to begin in the first half of 2026, with initial customer deliveries of the Z4 airplanes anticipated in the early 2030s. JetZero aims to achieve a full run rate of producing up to 20 Z4 airplanes per month by the late 2030s, further solidifying the Triad’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and aerospace innovation.
