On Tuesday, GE announced it would chop itself into three stand-alone companies: aviation, healthcare and energy – with the later two being spun off in 2023 and 2024 respectively. That leaves GE Aviation, based in Cincinnati suburb Evendale, as the remaining unit.
"Following these transactions, GE will be an aviation-focused company shaping the future of flight," the company said Tuesday.
General Electric did not immediately discuss where the three companies will be headquartered.
"(It's) too early to say," GE Aviation Nick Hurm told The Enquirer.
Nearly a quarter of the aviation unit's 40,000 employees, work in Southwest Ohio, more than 7,000 in Greater Cincinnati alone and 9,000 including Dayton.
