A large German plane engine maintenance company has inked a long-term lease at AllianceTexas, where it plans to invest tens of millions of dollars.<\/p>\n
MTU Maintenance<\/a> signed a 30-year lease with the City of Fort Worth to expand its presence at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. MTU plans to invest $120 million to modernize a roughly 462,000-square-foot building at 2100 Eagle Pkwy. The building used to be the site of American Airlines’ original maintenance base and a Rolls Royce engine plant.<\/p>\n The new operations are expected to bring 1,200 new jobs to the region and 2,000 indirect jobs in services, logistics and infrastructure, according to a June 24 announcement from MTU.<\/p>\n The deal follows a number of companies expanding maintenance operations in response to the area’s large aerospace sector and favorable business climate.<\/p>\n Munich-based MTU Aero Engines AG offers maintenance, repair and overhaul for more than 30 engine types and serves more than 1,100 customers around the world.<\/p>\n Bill Burton, executive vice president at Alliance developer Hillwood, said the lease reflects a new partnership between MTU and GE Aerospace, which is also expanding operations near Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. It means MTU can be a designated GE Aerospace engine maintenance repair station. With an increase in orders of new aircraft, the need for engine maintenance is bound to grow, Burton said.<\/p>\n Other companies such as Embraer and Gulfstream have also expanded maintenance operations in Alliance. Burton said Tarrant County College’s aviation training and logistics program at Alliance will help supply a pipeline of skilled workers necessary to meet demand.<\/p>\n \”To have this be [MTU’s] largest maintenance testing facility in North America is very exciting,\” Burton said. \”It’s part of what we imagined when we started Alliance a long time ago. This is the kind of thing that we were hoping to attract.\”<\/p>\n Marilyn Marvin, Fort Worth director of property management, said the expansion continues to solidify the city as an aviation hub, home to the likes of American Airlines and Bell Textron.<\/p>\n \”MTU’s continued investment in its operations will bring thousands of jobs to North Texas and provide an opportunity to collaborate with universities in ways that promote local talent development and continued training for Fort Worth’s highly-skilled workforce,\” Marvin said in a statement.<\/p>\n MTU established its maintenance operation, originally called MTU Maintenance Dallas, in 2023. Equipment at the test facility can produce to 100,000 pounds of thrust. The company said it has rebranded the facility as MTU Maintenance Fort Worth, effective Sept. 1.<\/p>\n Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport is the world’s first industrial airport designed for cargo and corporate aviation traffic and is owned by the City of Fort Worth and managed by Alliance Air Services. It’s part of the 27,000-acres AllianceTexas community developed by Hillwood. AllianceTexas is home to 590 companies and has had an estimated $130 billion economic impact on the region since 1989.<\/p>\n Read More <\/a><\/p>“}]}],{“id”:12662,”author”:”Ian Molyneaux”,”source”:”AeroTime”,”date”:”2025-06-25″,”image”:{“thumbnail”:”21cebc2a-3fc9-4c1f-bb2c-9bcb05f96db8.jpg”,”original”:”a8108372-93ee-4091-8a10-a35e9a72f318.jpg”,”optimized”:”20e7ac61-102c-46ad-a05c-e3e92d2ba0da.jpg”},”featured”:true,”title”:”Embraer opens Dallas-Fort Worth MRO Facility in Preparation for Brand New Center”},[{“id”:12662,”author”:”Ian Molyneaux”,”source”:”AeroTime”,”date”:”2025-06-25″,”image”:{“thumbnail”:”21cebc2a-3fc9-4c1f-bb2c-9bcb05f96db8.jpg”,”original”:”a8108372-93ee-4091-8a10-a35e9a72f318.jpg”,”optimized”:”20e7ac61-102c-46ad-a05c-e3e92d2ba0da.jpg”},”details”:[{“language”:”English – US”,”languageCode”:”en-US”,”title”:”Embraer opens Dallas-Fort Worth MRO Facility in Preparation for Brand New Center”,”article”:”
