Virginia continues to prove why it is one of the best places in the country to build the future of flight.

Tidal Flight’s expansion in Chesapeake, including new hangar space and additional high-skill jobs, is another strong signal that the Commonwealth’s aviation ecosystem is attracting and growing next-generation aerospace companies.
