Van Nuys FBO Will Service As Well AS Fly Phenoms
Embraer has named Clay Lacy
Aviation (CLA), located at Van Nuys Airport (KVNY), as
the company’s authorized service center for the Phenom 100
and Phenom 300 jets in Southern California.
“With the appointment of this new support base, Embraer
has met the need for Phenom authorized service in the Southern
California market,” said Scott Kalister, Embraer Vice
President, Customer Support, USA, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean
– Executive Jets. “Clay Lacy’s reputation as a
premier executive aviation provider and its location at Van Nuys
Airport make it an ideal choice for the support of our Phenom jet
customers.”
Operating from their 8-acre
facility, CLA has one of the largest FAA Diamond Award and Class
III and IV certified maintenance repair stations in the western
U.S. Five large hangars are available to Phenom 100 and Phenom 300
customers who will be offered inspections, scheduled and
unscheduled maintenance, paint touch-ups, and interior shop
services.
“We are excited to work with Embraer, whose creativity and
experience brought the Phenom to the market in a timely manner, at
a very competitive price and with a performance greater than
originally specified,” said Clay Lacy, founder and CEO of
CLA. “We see this as an opportunity to strengthen our
relationship with one of the premier aviation manufacturers in the
world, since we already operate its aircraft.”
A total of 64 Phenom jets are currently registered with the FAA.
The entry level Phenom 100 has been operating in North America
since December 2008. The Phenom 300, which was certified in
December 2009, is also flying in the region.
