Gama Aviation’s facility at Bournemouth, UK, has become the latest addition to Embraer Executive Jets’ service center network. The aircraft manufacturer announced the appointment on Wednesday, confirming that Gama will now provide line maintenance for Phenom 100 and 300 business jets, and base maintenance for Legacy 600/650s located in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.
Embraer already has eight of its own service centers globally for its executive aircraft family, and 10 authorized service centers in Europe among 64 such facilities worldwide. The group’s services and support unit said it has recently doubled maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) capacity in the U.S. with facilities at Dallas Love Field Airport, as well as in Cleveland, Ohio, and Sanford, Florida.
“We are delighted to have been selected as an authorized service center by Embraer who set an understandably high bar to become part of their global network,” said Gama Aviation MRO managing director Paul Kinch. “We look forward to working with customers to support their Phenom and Legacy aircraft via our MRO capability at Bournemouth, our line stations at Farnborough and Luton, plus our countrywide mobile support team service.”
