According to Metal Injection, Iron Maiden frontman and autopilot Bruce Dickinson is opening an airplane maintenance facility in South Wales that is expected to create 1,000 jobs. See Dickinson’s comments on his business Cardiff Aviation Ltd. below:

The company, which will be based out of Twin Peaks Hangar at St Athan, Vale of Glamorgan in Wales is certainly a labor of love for Bruce but even though he gets to fix, pilot and even teach others how to fly airplanes, it doesn’t seem to be the only thing Bruce is excited about. Bruce says, “We’re coming into this enterprise with the knowledge that we’ll also be bringing business to south Wales. South Wales has long had an association with the aircraft industry and I am delighted that I am able to have a small part in the continuation of that tradition.”
