Embraer 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. A new Embraer-owned service center will open at the Perot Field Alliance Airport in Fort Worth. The investment will reach up to $70 million and is expected to create approximately 250 new aviation jobs in Texas.
Embraer expects to begin operations in an existing hangar at 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 U.S.
Embraer’s Carlos Naufel added, “We have a long-standing relationship with the State of Texas and look forward to our partnership with Hillwood at Alliance, and the opening of this new service center will create hundreds of highly skilled jobs in a vital segment for the aviation industry.”
