Gathering Taking Place On Florida's Marco Island

Embraer Commercial Aviation is gathering more than 50 airlines and leasing companies, as well as 40 suppliers and commercial partners, on Marco Island, in Florida for the world edition of the Embraer Operators Conference (EOC). The event held under the theme of the tenth anniversary of regular operations of the E-Jets, commemorated in March of this year, takes place on November 3 and 4, preceding the 14th edition of the Maintenance Cost Workshop (MCW), promoted by the Services and Support area of Embraer Commercial Aviation, on November 5.

“To gather manufacturer, operators and suppliers is an effective way to exchange information and experiences with operations and maintenance, seeking to increase the operating efficiency of the airlines that operate these jets, which is a key driver of our innovation in customer support,” said Johann Bordais, Vice President Services and Support of Embraer Commercial Aviation. “And for this reason, we have invested in advanced maintenance diagnostic management tools, in order to make our aircraft even more dependable, which, in the end, boosts the operating profitability of our customers.”

At both the EOC and the MCW, Embraer will present its e-Solutions tools based on the platform of the FlyEmbraer site, which is a single connection point for Embraer customers to find a portfolio of digital services at any time, from any device. Designed to maximize flight duration and avoid unnecessary operating costs and delays, it serves as both corrective and preventive maintenance.

Embraer gives support to operators of jets and turboprops around the world, with technical knowledge and a vast services and component supply network. The results are a significant savings in repair and inventory costs, thus reducing the storage space for stocks, practically eliminating the need for funds for repair management, and, finally, ensuring performance levels.

In 2014, Embraer signed important contracts to support its customers’ fleets. SkyWest, for example, sealed a 12-year deal for management services of components, by which Embraer will provide support for the entire fleet of E175 jets. The agreement covers over 160 replacement parts. Embraer also signed a 10-year contract with the company to supply the AHEAD-PRO (Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis - PROgnosis) System. Tianjin Airlines, the first customer of the E190 jet in China and the biggest E-Jets operator in Asia, became the launch customer, in China, of the AHEAD-PRO System. It will be installed in Tianjin Airlines’ entire fleet of 50 E-Jets.

The MCW is an annual event that is organized to support operators in reducing maintenance costs by sharing experiences, addressing the best market practices, in order to meet the continuous demand for increasing operating efficiency.
