Embraer signed Component Pool Program contracts with multiple airlines on the third day of the ongoing Paris Air Show.

Currently, the Embraer Pool Program supports more than 60 airlines worldwide. Airlines that have signed on for the program benefit from significant savings in repair and inventory carrying costs and a reduction in warehousing space and resources required for repair management.

Embraer and Virgin Australia: The two companies announced a multi-year contract for Embraer’s Component Pool Program. The airline will be supported by Embraer on a wide range of component exchanges and repair services for the eight E190-E2 that will soon enter Virgin Australia’s fleet.

“The E190-E2 will deliver greater efficiency and reliability to our regional fleet. Joining Embraer’s Pool Program strengthens that advantage, giving us robust maintenance support at our new, purpose-built hangar at Perth Airport,” says Alistair Hartley, Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer, Virgin Australia Group.

“Virgin Australia and Embraer are working very closely as we advance toward the E190-E2's entry into service. The Pool Program is part of Embraer’s comprehensive support solutions, and will ensure the readiness of Virgin Australia’s E190-E2 fleet and allow the airline to fully leverage the E190-E2's fuel-efficiency, performance and reliability,” says Carlos Naufel, CEO and President, Embraer Services & Support.

Embraer and Hunnu Air: As part of the multi-year Pool Program deal, the Mongolian airline will receive support for a wide range of repairable components for its two E195-E2s joining its fleet.

“By joining Embraer’s Pool Program, we are taking a strategic step to ensure seamless integration of the E195-E2 into our fleet. This partnership provides access to a comprehensive support network, allowing us to minimize aircraft downtime. It is a critical enabler for our mission to deliver exceptional service across our expanding network,” said Munkhjargal Purevjal, CEO of Hunnu Air.

Air Montenegro has added a third E195 jet to its fleet and signed a multi-year contract for the Pool Program with Embraer, covering both the new jet and the two E195s already integrating the European airline’s fleet.

“Although our cooperation with Embraer has been long and successful, we believe its peak is yet to come. The continued development of Air Montenegro and the modernization of our fleet will open new possibilities to deepen our partnership and achieve common goals in the areas of safety, innovation, and service excellence,” says Tihomir Dragaš, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Air Montenegro.

“Air Montenegro has shown strong growth during the last year, and we are happy to be part of this momentum, by providing more capacity and world-class services. Our goal is to keep the E-Jets ready to fly and to keep strengthening our successful partnership for the years to come”, says Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
