ExecuJet Australia extends Embraer’s worldwide authorised network
São José dos Campos, February 1, 2010 - Embraer has appointed
ExecuJet Australia Pty. Ltd.
as its exclusive authorized executive jet service provider in
Australia. ExecuJet has been
offering services to all of Embraer's Legacy 600 customers since
January 2010, including
warranty and line and heavy maintenance. During this year,
ExecuJet will expand its role to
support Phenom customers.
According to André de Castilho Silva, Embraer Director of Customer
Support and Services -
Asia Pacific, "the appointment of an authorized center in
Australia marks the next step in the
expansion of our Executive Jets support and service network in
Asia Pacific. We have chosen
to partner with ExecuJet, in Australia, because they offer very
comprehensive coverage in the
country and will extend the high standard of quality we are
committed to providing to our
executive jet owners and operators."
The global aviation service provider will also offer 24-hour
Aircraft On Ground (AOG)
support for Embraer executive jets based in Australia and
traveling through the region, out of
its Melbourne service center, complemented by its Sydney and
Brisbane maintenance bases.
"As a comprehensive business aviation service provider, we are
delighted to be associated with
Embraer for the support of business jets in Australia," commented
Alastair Creighton Jones,
Managing Director of ExecuJet Asia Pacific. "ExecuJet has an
established network of facilities
with a well-earned reputation as the premier business jet
maintenance provider in the region.
We look forward to a long and successful partnership in supporting
the Embraer fleet."
This appointment coincides with the delivery of the first Legacy
600 executive jet in
Australia, at the end of 2009. It also marks the inaugural
arrangement between Embraer and
ExecuJet in that country's executive aviation market. Australia
will be the third country in
Asia Pacific in which Embraer has dedicated executive jet service
centers. Embraer's two
other authorized service centers are located in India and
Singapore.
