ONE Aviation told employees last week that some will lose their jobs as the company phases out production of the Eclipse EA550 light jet and makes room for the new EA700 Project Canada aircraft still under development. ONE Aviation successfully completed the first flight of the proof-of-concept wing for the EA700 last month.
Staff Reductions Come to ONE Aviation
Key Takeaways:
- ONE Aviation is laying off employees and phasing out production of its EA550 light jet to focus on the development of the new EA700 Project Canada aircraft, which recently completed a successful proof-of-concept wing flight.
- Personnel reductions will affect multiple company locations, including Albuquerque, Chicago, Superior, Wisconsin, and Brunswick, Maine, though ONE Aviation commits to continuing support for current EA500/EA550 owners.
- The company is also facing broader difficulties, including the eviction of its Kestrel Aircraft division from a hangar in Maine and significant delays in repaying loans to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp.
