The facility will create more jobs in the Springfield region, as well as additional potential for enhancements to air service in the future
10 February 2021: Envoy Air will expand their aircraft maintenance operations in Springfield, Missouri by moving into a new and bigger facility which will allow them to service more Embraer E-175 aircraft. Apart from additional space to house three aircraft inside the facility will have additional room for more aircraft outside, dedicated areas for parts storage, training, employee parking and administration.
The facility owned by Springfield-Branson National Airport will be ready by late 2021.
Jay Murray, Vice President of Maintenance said, “The new facility will allow scheduled overnight maintenance for up to three E-175 aircraft and provide line maintenance for the daily American Eagle service from Springfield to American’s hubs in Charlotte, Dallas/Fort Worth and Chicago. It will be staffed by Envoy employees, including Mechanics, Inventory Control Clerks, Management and Support personnel. We thank state and local officials at the Springfield-Branson National Airport, the airport Board of Directors, and the Chamber of Commerce for their continuous efforts and partnership. This new facility will continue to support our maintenance operation.”
Governor Mike Parson said, “We’re excited to see Envoy Air grow and expand in the Springfield region. The new jobs and investment are great news for the state of Missouri that will help reinforce our connectedness to neighboring states and the entire country.”
In addition to creating new jobs and investment, this expansion demonstrates American’s commitment to ongoing air service in the Springfield region. The project will also benefit Missouri as a whole with new jobs that will attract and retain talent from aviation training programs around the state.
