West Star Aviation has finalized its service center agreement with Embraer Executive Jets. Through the agreement, West Star’s facility at Tennessee's Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport will offer interior refurbishment, inspection, avionics installation and repair, engine inspections, and parts for the Phenom 100 and 300, as well as the Legacy 450, 500, 600, and 650.

Currently, the Chattanooga service center is expanding to incorporate a paint facility and other additions to accommodate aircraft as large as the Embraer Lineage 1000 and 1000E. The shop, which is expected to open in September, will offer full paint capabilities.

"We are thrilled to be able to accept Embraer customers at all three of our full-service facilities at St. Louis Regional, Grand Junction (Colorado) Regional, and Chattanooga Airports," said Bob O'Leary, West Star Aviation's Embraer business development manager. "We are dedicated to the growth of our Embraer capabilities and proud to offer complete maintenance on Embraer Phenom and Legacy models.”
