WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Struggling plane maker Hawker Beechcraft released employment numbers Wednesday that showed its work force in Kansas has fallen below the level required to receive the full amount of incentives from state and local governments.
The Wichita-based aircraft manufacturer — which makes general aviation and military trainers — said it had 3,372 employees in Kansas as of Dec. 31 and is currently trying to fill more than 65 open positions in Wichita. The company employs more than 5,400 people worldwide.
