Embraer to invest in new MRO facilities for commercial jets in Texas

·Two hangars at the Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport will increase capacity for E-Jets maintenance in the US
·New service center is expected to become operational in the first quarter of 2025

Fort Worth, TX, September 24, 2024 – Embraer today announced the expansion of its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services network to support the growing fleet of E-Jets in the Unites States by opening 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 first 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 is expected to have a considerable increase in the US.

“This expansion will significantly increase the capacity, capability, and footprint of our services network by providing world-class support to our customers and the growing fleet of E-Jets in North America. Also, it is part of Embraer’s growth strategy in the US”, said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support.

The new Fort Worth service center will be added to the global network of Embraer which includes 80 authorized centers and 12 owned service centers around the world. The city of Fort Worth has been selected as the finalist location for the proposed project, subject to approval by local government authorities of certain proposed incentives.
