Industry
Parts of Flintshire have major manufacturing industries. Amongst these are a very advanced Toyota plant that manufactures engines, a TATA steelworks and Shotton Paper, and Airbus, making the wings for the A330 and the A380 at Broughton.
There are daily flights of the Airbus Beluga transport aircraft of Airbus wings from Broughton for the smaller aircraft. The wings for the A380, which are too large to be transported by air use a multi-modal transport using Flintshire's roads, the River Dee and the port of Mostyn, also in Flintshire.
Flintshire is also known for its internet companies, the largest and most well known being Moneysupermarket.com based in Ewloe.
