Chooses Volusia County For 500,00 Square Foot Plant
France-based aircraft builder AURA AERO announced it has selected Daytona Beach International Airport (KDAB) to build its 500,000 square foot manufacturing and assembly facility for production of its hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft (ERA).
AURA AERO is building the facility to meet demand in the growing North American market, while also progressing with its new facility in Toulouse-Francazal Airport (QYF) in Cugnaux, France.
The Daytona Beach plant is expected to be operational by late 2028, eventually producing 100 of the company’s hybrid electric ERA aircraft per year while creating about 1,000 high-paying jobs for the regional economy. The facility will be an anchor tenant in the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Research Park as well as a corporate partner of the University, which is a premier educational and training institution in aviation and aerospace.
AURA AERO CEO Jérémy Caussade is enthusiastic about the area and the strong welcome and support he’s received from community leaders, industry and academic partners.
Caussade said, “We couldn’t be more pleased to partner with the state of Florida, Volusia County, the Daytona Beach International Airport and other key partners as we advance our mission to design and manufacture headway electric aircraft that accelerate air transport and decarbonization,”
He continued, “This area and its leadership support economic growth and development along with technological advancement, and we’re excited to be a part of its future development while providing high-value jobs that will dramatically change the aviation industry.”
