MTU Maintenance is expanding its North American footprint by investing in its facilities at Perot Field Forth Worth Alliance Airport (AFW). The company has begun a 30-year lease contract with the City of Fort Worth, Texas to upgrade its 43,000-square-meter facility there. This $120 million investment is part of the company’s long-term investment strategy outlined in its 2050 plan.
As announced by CFM International and GE Aerospace in April, MTU will be adding CFM LEAP and GEnx maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services to its portfolio in the United States. These agreements will see MTU’s site in Fort Worth develop from an on-site service center to full disassembly, assembly and test facility. It also expands the depth and scope of MTU’s engine MRO solutions worldwide. The company offers customized MRO, leasing and asset management services for a portfolio of over 30 engine types and serves over 1,100 customers around the world.
MTU’s expansion with the City of Fort Worth will have a direct economic impact, bringing 1,200 highly skilled new jobs to the region and up to 2,000 indirect jobs in services, logistics and infrastructure. MTU is targeting significant growth in North America, and this site in Fort Worth will be key in its strategy.
“MTU is taking things to the next level with a triple-digit million US dollar investment in our Fort Worth-based site. To underscore this strategic shift, the facility will be renamed MTU Maintenance Fort Worth,” says Gernot Sell, Managing Director, MTU Maintenance Fort Worth. This will take effect from 1st September, 2025, pending approvals from regulatory bodies and authorities. To date, the facility had been named MTU Maintenance Dallas. “We have a clear business strategy for regional collaboration, are committed to job creation and both excited and prepared for significant growth.”
Since moving to its new 43,000 square foot facility in Fort Worth, Texas, in 2023, MTU Maintenance, the global market leader in customized service solutions for aero engines, has been continually expanding its services and quick turn portfolio and preparing for further development. The site boasts excellent infrastructure for maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) operations, including an engine test facility with up to 100,000 lbs. of thrust.
