Louisville Facility To Be Operated By UPS
What can Brown do for Embraer? We're about to find out. The
Brazilian planemaker's new distribution center, operated by UPS
Supply Chain Solutions in Louisville, KY, has been certified by the
Brazilian Civil Aviation Agency (Agência Nacional de
Aviação Civil – ANAC). The certification by
ANAC is also recognized by the US Federal Aviation
Administration.
The distribution center supports the Embraer executive jet fleet
in North America and the Caribbean. It maintains a complete stock
of repairable, expendable and structural parts for Phenom jets at
the Louisville Worldport, which is UPS's largest air cargo hub.
"In addition to the three recently-inaugurated service centers,
this achievement further confirms our readiness to support our
North American and Caribbean customers, including those who will
begin to fly their Phenom 100s," said Edson Carlos Mallaco, Embraer
Vice President, Customer Support and Services – Executive
Jets. "We have had an excellent relationship with UPS, the world's
largest package delivery company and a leading global provider of
specialized transportation and logistics services, with its
broad-based express delivery network."
In order to assure availability where needed, Embraer will also
stock critical parts throughout the US at its authorized service
centers, including the company-owned distribution center in Fort
Lauderdale, FL. Orders requested up to midnight Eastern Standard
Time can be delivered by the next morning to customers virtually
anywhere at the thousands of destinations served by UPS in North
America. Additionally, the certification of this site enables it to
receive and generate airworthiness tags for spare parts used on
Embraer products, saving customers time and expense.
"UPS is pleased and excited to be partnering with Embraer in
supporting the Phenom jets. With the existing well-defined Embraer
processes as a building block, UPS plans to employ its own best
practices to make the Louisville operation one of Embraer's most
fluid and efficient," said Scott Blandford, UPS Operations
Manager.
