GEORGIA’S AEROSPACE INDUSTRY

TAG believes that Middle Georgia’s role in the states logistics, industrial engineering and aerospace industries will continue to grow and the numbers prove it.

Currently:

• Georgia ranked No. 5 in the United States for aerospace employment in 2012, Justice said. That represents more than 500 aerospace companies employing about 86,000 people in the state. Georgia’s worldwide aerospace exports topped $5.75 billion – fourth highest in the U.S.
• The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Surveillance International estimates 3,500 Georgians will work in the drone industry alone by 2025

We expect that Middle Georgia will play a significant role in increasing the number of companies and revenues derived from the industry.
