The details: Located at Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport, MTU invested in modernizing and upgrading a 463,000-square-foot facility in the AllianceTexas development.

MTU Maintenance is under the umbrella of German-based MTU Aero Engines. The company provides jet engine overhaul and maintenance on commercial and military aircraft engines, according to previous reporting.

Zooming in: MTU has been in North Texas since 2011 and in the Alliance area since 2023. It signed a 30-year lease with the city of Fort Worth for use of space at the airport. According to previous reporting, the lease will run through June 30, 2054.

The expansion will focus on disassembly, assembly and test capabilities, according to a news release. Gernot Sell, MTU Maintenance Fort Worth's managing director, said staffing will grow to more than 1,200 employees once the site is fully “ramped up.”

Gov. Abbott: More than 75 people rescued amid 'record' Texas rainfall, flash flooding

As heavy rain and flash flooding threatens large swaths of South and Central Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott spoke to reporters about the state's preparation for and response to the severe weather July 15.

The big picture: The heaviest rainfall is occurring in southwest Texas, according to the National Weather Service, with 10-15 inches of rain expected through July 16 along the U.S. 90 corridor west of San Antonio. As of 2:40 p.m. July 15, all or parts of 14 counties were under a flash flood warning, including Comal, Hays and Bexar counties.

The city of New Braunfels announced several road closures July 15, and the city closed recreational access to the Comal River due to continued rainfall and rising water levels, Community Impact reported.

The severe weather came just over a year after historic flooding killed more than 130 people in Central Texas on July 4-5, 2025.

More details: Dozens of other counties were under flood watches, advisories and warnings. Fifty-nine counties were also under a state disaster declaration as of July 14.
