Aircraft manufacturer Embraer announced in June 2018 that it would employ 100 people at its Middle Georgia Regional Airport facility. On Tuesday, a company executive says the plan now is to double that number.
The job expansion announcement was made during an open house at the 155,000-square-foot facility where commercial jet aircraft maintenance is performed. There’s been a higher workload than expected at the Macon site over the first several months, said Johann Bordais, president and CEO of Embraer Services and Support.
The company is forecasting a 50 percent workload increase in Macon in 2020, Bordais said.
“The guys came back to us a couple weeks ago and said ‘we have good news and challenging news.’ We have to grow the business. We have to go for the next step,’” Bordais said.
