Fort Worth, Texas, October 15, 2024 – Embraer today announced the expansion and investment in the United States of its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services network to support the growing fleet of E-Jets with the opening of a new Embraer owned service center at the Perot Field Alliance Airport, in Fort Worth, Texas.
In partnership with the City of Fort Worth, Denton County and the State of Texas, Embraer expects to begin operations in an existing hangar in the beginning of the second quarter of 2025, while building a second hangar that should be concluded by 2027. With the new facilities, Embraer’s capacity to serve the E-Jets customers will increase by 53% in the US. The investment will reach up to $70 million and is expected to create approximately 250 new aviation jobs in Texas.
The new Fort Worth service center will be added to Embraer’s global network, which includes 80 authorized centers and 12 owned service centers around the world.
