Support Deal Will Provide 200+ Part Numbers to Philippine Air Force Aircraft

Embraer has signed a service support agreement with the Philippine Air Force to support their fleet of A-29 Super Tucanos, providing more than 200 discrete part numbers for the type.

The Philippine Air Force operates a fleet of 6 A-29 Super Tucanos delivered during 2020, operated and maintained by the 15th Strike Wing. Embraer's assistance will help to maintain the aircraft in peak condition, with a repository of parts and technical know-how ready at the drop of a hat. The PAF's selection of the Tucano added to the type's position as the go-to turboprop trainer and COIN aircraft for more than 15 air forces around the world.

“Staying close to our customers and supporting them in their missions is core to what we do,” said Rinaldo Piubeli Prado, Vice President of Worldwide Defense & Security Customer Support & Aftermarket Sales, Embraer Services & Support. “Leveraging on our customer support team in Asia Pacific, we are honored to support the Philippine Air Force as they deploy the A-29 and utilize it to its fullest potential.”
