Gov. Kay Ivey welcomed plans by global defense contractor BAE Systems to launch a major expansion that will create a substantial number of jobs and add new capabilities at its operations in Huntsville.

In an announcement coinciding with the start of the Farnborough International Airshow near London, BAE Systems revealed the $45.5 million project to expand its operations in Alabama. The company said the expansion will create hundreds of jobs.

“BAE Systems’ decision to carry out this significant expansion project in Huntsville is a powerful testament to the expertise that makes Alabama’s ‘Rocket City’ an aerospace hub,” said Ivey, who is attending the air show with a state business development team. “It’s great to see a world-class company like BAE Systems expand its presence — and create good jobs — in Alabama, where aerospace is continuing to take off,” she added.
