3/31/2022

The North Central West Virginia aerospace industry remains one of the region’s primary economic drivers.

Bridgeport’s North Central West Virginia Airport (CKB) and the collection of aerospace-related businesses surrounding it generate a total annual economic impact of $1.1 billion, support over 1,480 full-time jobs and would be the sixth-largest employer in the region if it were a single employer, according to a 2019 study.

Tracy Miller, president of the Mid-Atlantic Aerospace Complex, the entity responsible for promoting the airport and the tenants on its campus, said the region’s aerospace industry has continued to thrive even amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
