The facility will be at the Perot Field Alliance Airport, in Fort Worth, Texas. Constructed 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 centre will be added to the global network of Embraer which includes 80 authorised centres and 12 owned service centres around the world.
