Embraer Executive Jets is growing its maintenance service network in the U.S. from three to six facilities “to support the continued growth of its executive jets customer base,” the company announced today. The three new factory-owned service centers—to be based at Dallas Love Field, Orlando Sanford (Florida) Airport, and Cleveland-Hopkins (Ohio) International Airport—are scheduled to open in the second quarter of next year.
“We are pleased to offer additional service locations for our customers as we will significantly expand the capacity, capability, and footprint of our MRO network in the U.S.,” said Embraer Services and Support v-p of MRO services Frank Stevens. “Our Executive Jets fleet has been growing rapidly over the last several years as strong demand continues across the entire product portfolio. This expansion will provide immediate additional capacity and ensures that we are poised to care for our valued customers and strategically grow for many years to come.”
In addition, Embraer will also “substantially increase” its mobile response network by 28 teams and enlarge its capabilities—including access to cabin completions, paint, and component repairs—as part of this expansion.
The expansion will augment the company’s three owned, U.S.-based service centers for its business jet customers in Mesa, Arizona, and Melbourne and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as well as 24 factory-authorized service centers in the U.S.
