The Shaneen co-production site

The Aceson Shaneens will be co-produced in Australia.

Currently an incentive submission guideline has been submitted to the Western Australian, Queensland, New South Wales, Victorian and South Australian state governments.

This co-production facility will provide over 30,000 ongoing direct jobs, as well as thousands of sub-contract positions. The Aceson program will spend over $5 billion building the manufacturing facility. It is thus important to ensure the best location is selected for this site.

The submission guideline is not just requesting development capital. Educatiion and training, tax breaks, access to state government land aquisition or a grant of a land package near transport, and housing form some of the many ideas placed into the submission guideline: state governments are encouraged to come up with further innovations for their bid.

It is up to these state governments to respond to this document and prepare incentives to Briggs. It will be from these bids that Briggs will decide where the DC Shaneen4 and the DJC Shaneen5 will be built.

Co-production will occur in the facility, substantially reducing production costs and making the Australian built airliners compete with production lines in China. The parallel production lines allow staff to move between both airliners. This assists with both training and supervision of key tasks.
