Embraer opened its new Commercial MRO facilities at the Perot Field Alliance Airport in Fort Worth, Texas. In partnership with the City of Fort Worth and the State of Texas, Embraer will begin operations in an existing hangar, while building a second hangar that is scheduled for completion in 2027. With new facilities, Embraer’s capacity to serve its customers is expected to increase considerably in the United States, with an increase of 53% across the country. The investment will reach up to $70 million and is expected to create approximately 250 new aviation jobs in Texas.
Bill Burton, Executive Vice President for Hillwood commented: “We are excited to join Embraer in celebrating the launch of their expanded operations at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. Hillwood’s mission at AllianceTexas is to attract world-class companies while creating new jobs in our region – and Embraer is doing just that. Their phased expansion and investment in Fort Worth underscore the strength of our partnerships and Fort Worth’s standing as a center of aerospace excellence.”
Robert Allen, President and CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership stated: “The opening of the new Embraer facility is just the latest example of how Fort Worth is the place to be to start, build, or expand a business. Fort Worth has been declared the Aviation Capital of Texas by the Governor and this announcement proves it. This new facility at Alliance will allow Embraer to increase its aviation operations and bring hundreds of new jobs to our area. It's wheels up for Embraer and for Fort Worth!”
“We are very excited to start operations at our new MRO facility in Fort Worth.
