The Welsh economy received a boost today with the announcement of 100 new jobs created at the GE Aviation Wales aircraft servicing facility in Nantgarw, near Cardiff. With a 1,100 strong workforce and an annual turnover approaching £1.25 billion ($2 billion), GE Aviation is one of the largest employers in Wales.
The new jobs will be for aircraft engineers and are as a result of growing demand for servicing of the GE90 engine which last year accounted for $1.4 billion in sales.
