Aerospace company Embraer has opened its new service centre at Perot Field Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas, US.
The investment in its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services in the US is intended to support the increasing number of E-Jets.
Embraer collaborated with local authorities, including the City of Fort Worth, Denton County, and the State of Texas, as it aims to commence operations in an existing hangar in the second quarter of 2025.
The construction of an additional hangar is projected to be completed by 2027.
These facilities will enhance Embraer’s capacity to serve E-Jets customers in the US by 53%.
The work will entail an investment of up to $70m and is expected to generate around 250 new aviation jobs in Texas.
