Embraer Doubles Footprint of Sorocaba MRO
The expansion of the MRO and FBO is driven in part by growth in Embraer's business jet unit.

Embraer’s services and support unit today opened its expanded MRO facility in Sorocaba, Brazil, mostly in response to a growing business jet fleet in its home country. The Sorocaba expansion doubles the airframer’s facility footprint there from 20,000 sq m (215,278 sq ft) to 40,000 sq m. The site now boasts four hangars, three of which are dedicated to aircraft and component MRO, with the fourth supporting the company’s FBO there.
