General Electric Aerospace is prepared to soar with the expansion of the company’s aircraft engine maintenance and repair facility near Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Plans filed with the state show that the GE on Wing Support Inc. facility’s $35 million expansion will include the demolition and removal of some building components in advance of the construction of a 26,232-square-foot addition at 15225 FAA Blvd. The 24/7 facility is one of eight operated by GE on Wing Support.
A filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation shows that construction could begin around September. The project, part of a nationwide investment initiative, is expected to be completed by December 2027.
In August 2024, the Fort Worth City Council approved a seven year, $1.2 million tax abatement for the expansion of the company’s 84,344-square-foot facility south of the airport.
The company committed to a capital investment of $50 million, including $37.5 million in property improvements and $12.5 million in business property. GE on Wing Support committed to hiring 100 people for full-time jobs that pay an annual salary of $70,000 or more. In addition, business-equity firms will be hired for 15% of construction improvements, according to the agreement.
“We expect that to be closer to $80,000 or above, based on current salaries, but this is the minimum salary that’s agreed to,” Cherie Gordon, the city’s economic development coordinator, told the council in 2024.
In addition, GE Aerospace plans to expand an adjacent property at 15101 FAA Blvd.
The company has owned and operated the property since 1998. GE on Wing Support employs more than 300 employees worldwide, including 65 currently at the Fort Worth plant.
Fort Worth won the expansion from competing sites in Oklahoma, Tennessee, Ohio and Kansas.
Last month, GE Aerospace announced it plans to invest $1 billion in manufacturing sites in 2026 to ramp up engine deliveries and parts production as part of an effort to strengthen defense production after military strikes in Iran.
The investment will benefit facilities in more than 30 communities across 17 states, officials said in a news release. The company also plans to hire 5,000 U.S. workers in manufacturing and engineering roles in addition to the 5,000 hired last year.
“Maintaining U.S. aerospace leadership requires sustained investment in our people, our facilities, and the technologies that will define the future of flight,” H. Lawrence Culp Jr., chairman and CEO of GE Aerospace, said in a statement. “This investment is for our customers, our communities, and our country.”
