US aircraft giant Boeing said on Thursday it will expand production at its 787 Dreamliner aircraft factory in South Carolina, investing $1 billion and creating 500 jobs.
Boeing said the money will go towards infrastructure upgrades and new jobs in Charleston County. The investment will not be made for the next five years.
Operations are expected to start in early 2027. The company will expand both of its North Charleston campuses to support increased 787 Dreamliner production goals.
