The new maintenance center, set to be constructed at Perot Field Alliance Airport, is scheduled to open in 2027 with an investment of up to $70 million (€60.2 million), as announced by Embraer.
The aerospace company anticipates that with the expansion of the infrastructure, its capacity to serve jet customers in the U.S. will increase by 53% and will enable the company to create approximately 250 new jobs.
“This marks a new chapter in Embraer’s journey in the United States. (…) This facility is a symbol of our long-term commitment to the North American market,” stated Embraer’s CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto, during the construction commencement ceremony.
The Brazilian company had already begun operating in June at the airport, in collaboration with the city of Fort Worth, Denton County, and the state of Texas.
The Mayor of Fort Worth, Mattie Parker, stated at the ceremony that “the airport remains a hub of innovation and economic opportunity, and Embraer’s expansion further strengthens Fort Worth’s position as a global leader in aviation and advanced manufacturing. This investment brings not only high-quality jobs but also highlights the strength of our business environment and the talent of our local workforce.”
The new Fort Worth service center will be part of Embraer’s global network, which includes more than 80 Authorized Service Centers and 13 Embraer-Owned Service Centers worldwide.
