Spirit AeroSystems is installing a new autoclave at its facility in the Global TransPark. The autoclave will cure large aerostructure components Spirit builds for the center fuselage section and wing structure of the Airbus A350 XWB aircraft. Those assemblies will then be shipped to Spirit's facilities in St. Nazaire, France, and Prestwick, Scotland for assembly and delivery to Airbus.

Recent changes in the Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) structure for Eastern North Carolina will make it easier for businesses to import foreign goods while deferring payment of Customs import duties and fees.   

The Global TransPark has long been committed to incorporating state-of-the-art environmental protection and conservation measures into the development of the park. In 2011, NCGTP was issued a NPDES stormwater permit authorizing the release of stormwater from its storm drainage system to nearby waterbodies. As required b the permit, NCGTP has developed a Stormwater Management Plan and is implementing actions to reduce stormwater pollution.
