The company will establish its greenfield production plant in Tornala — the region where the unemployment rate is around 26%. The ready-made clothing for Benetton will be produced there. Airflyght plans to create around 200 new jobs in the new production unit in a year. It intends to ask the Slovak government for a state aid.
