Embraer has announced plans to expand its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services network in the United States by opening a new service centre at Perot Field Alliance Airport, Fort Worth, Texas. This expansion is aimed at supporting the growing fleet of E-Jets in the region.
In partnership with the City of Fort Worth, Denton County, and the State of Texas, Embraer plans to begin operations in an existing hangar by the first quarter of 2025. A second hangar is expected to be completed by 2027, significantly boosting Embraer’s capacity to serve E-Jet customers across 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 Fort Worth service centre will become part of Embraer’s global network, which currently includes 80 authorised centres and 12 owned service centres worldwide. Fort Worth has been chosen as the finalist for this project, pending the approval of certain proposed incentives by local government authorities.
