HAECO is pleased to partner with the City of Dallas for its relocation to a new, state-of-the-art facility encompassing 290,000 square feet. Scheduled to commence operations in January 2025, this expansion is set to create numerous job opportunities within the region while significantly enhancing HAECO’s capabilities in the industrialization and repair of next-generation aircraft engines. 

This relocation marks a significant milestone in HAECO's growth strategy in its engine business, enabling the company to increase production capacity and address the escalating demand for advanced aircraft engine repair services. The new facility will incorporate cutting-edge manufacturing and engineering technologies, positioning HAECO as a leader in the highly competitive aviation sector. 

“This project is bringing new, high-paying and high-skill aviation repair jobs into Dallas,” said Councilmember Omar Narvaez (District 6), a member of the City Council’s Economic Development Committee. “I appreciate HAECO’s selection of Dallas and commitment to Dallas hiring.” 

“We are thrilled to be partnering with the City of Dallas in this exciting venture,” said James Clarke, Executive Vice President of HAECO Global Engine Support. “This new location represents a tremendous opportunity for growth, both for our company and for the local community. It will bring high-quality jobs and support the development of cutting-edge technology that will shape the future of aviation.  Working with the leadership of the City’s business development group within the Office of Economic Development has been an extremely positive experience.”
