L2 Aviation Opens $12.2 Million Manufacturing Operation in Boone County

L2 Aviation – a comprehensive avionics design, consulting, manufacturing and engineering company – recently held the grand opening event of the company’s first Kentucky location.

The project, which was announced in December 2024, will help the company grow and meet increased customer and industry demand.

Enhancing The Flying Experience

L2 Aviation is located in a freshly remodeled office and purpose-built production facility, as well as a hangar, at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) in Boone County.

The two facilities will allow the company to increase production, engineering, customer support, new product development and overall operating efficiency.

“We are incredibly grateful for the support and partnership we’ve received from the state of Kentucky”, said L2 Aviation’s Chief Operating Officer, Tony Bailey. “Their commitment to fostering a business-friendly environment has been instrumental in helping us expand our capabilities and position ourselves for long-term success. As we look to the future, L2 Aviation is excited to grow our presence in the region, create high-quality jobs and continue delivering innovative aviation solutions that set new standards across the industry.”

The $12.2 million investment will add 250 new jobs in the region and is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year.

Aerospace Products and Services

L2 Aviation, established in 1997 by founder Mark Lebovitz, began with the mission to simplify avionics modifications for the aviation industry.

“Kentucky’s aviation and aerospace industry has seen tremendous growth in the last few years,” said Governor Andy Beshear. “This investment from L2 Aviation will bring hundreds of quality job opportunities to the Northern Kentucky region and is yet another example of a company believing in what this great state has to offer. I am happy to celebrate this exciting next step for the company and the community. I want to thank L2’s leadership for their commitment to Kentucky and congratulate them on today’s grand opening.”

Lebovitz initially operated the business from his garage in Austin, Texas, and relocated its headquarters in 2001 to Dripping Springs, Texas, a suburb of Austin.

Since then, L2 Aviation has expanded its services to include comprehensive avionics design, consulting, engineering, manufacturing and installation.

The company supports a wide range of aviation modification and certification projects globally and develops FAA Supplemental Type Certificates for commercial aviation, avionics original equipment manufacturers, business aviation, air cargo and military applications.
