The MRO will be the second hangar at the airport.
The gist
The new hangar will be constructed to support a growing aviation hub in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, speakers at the event said.
Carlos Naufel, CEO and president of Embraer service and support, said this facility will serve companies like CommuteAir with United Express, American Airlines and other aviation companies.
The background
