GE Aerospace plans to invest another $1 billion in its U.S. manufacturing sites and supplier base during 2026 to help accelerate engine deliveries, ramp production of parts that safely extend time between maintenance shop visits, and strengthen defense production to keep pace with military demand.
The 2026 investment—the company’s second consecutive $1 billion U.S. investment—will benefit sites across more than 30 communities in 17 states. GE Aerospace also plans to hire 5,000 U.S. workers, including both manufacturing and engineering roles, in addition to the 5,000 people it hired last year
“Maintaining U.S. aerospace leadership requires sustained investment in our people, our facilities, and the technologies that will define the future of flight,” said H. Lawrence Culp, Jr., Chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace. “This investment is for our customers, our communities, and our country.”
Since 2024, GE Aerospace has announced plans to invest more than $2.5 billion across its U.S. manufacturing sites and supplier base, including approximately $600 million in sites producing defense engines during the last three years. This manufacturing investment is in addition to the nearly $3 billion GE Aerospace invests annually in research and development.
