BETA Technologies, EXIM Bank plan to expand financing to $1B

Beta Technologies

BETA Technologies and the US Export-Import Bank announced intent on August 4, 2026 to expand their financing relationship with $830 million of incremental, non-dilutive financing on top of an initial roughly $170 million tranche, for up to $1 billion in total. The funding would roughly double capacity across BETA's manufacturing facilities as its commercial aircraft backlog has grown from about $1 billion to $3.9 billion since the original EXIM financing; the deal remains subject to due diligence and final documentation.
