1,000+ New Manufacturing Jobs Inbound If LMXT Tanker Selected for Interim KC-46 Adjunct
Lockheed Martin's Marietta, Georgia and Mobile, Alabama plants are in the running to become the LMXT tanker factory, awaiting a contract award from the US Air Force. Lockheed announced the selection of the 2 locations ahead of the final decision, essentially advertising the number of technical manufacturing jobs at stake for the program. The LMXT is Lockheed's offering for the USAF's KC-Y "Bridge Tanker" program, a domestically produced version of the Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport.
