After one year of operation supported by the Embraer Pool Program, EgyptAir focuses now on developing in-house component repair capabilities São José dos Campos, July 18, 2008 – Embraer reinforced its partnership with
EgyptAir Maintenance & Engineering by signing an agreement for in-house parts repair
capabilities. EgyptAir will be able to repair Embraer components at its Maintenance,
Repair and Overhaul (MRO) center. One year ago, Embraer and EgyptAir Maintenance &
Engineering signed a long-term Parts Pool Program services contract for the support of
the six EMBRAER 170 jets operated by EgyptAir Express.
“It’s a great honor for us to strengthen our links with EgyptAir Maintenance &
Engineering, which is one of the most respected MRO parts providers in the Middle East”,
said Leandro Laia, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support and Services – Europe,
Africa and Middle East.
In May 2007, the first EMBRAER 170 was delivered to EgyptAir’s subsidiary, EgyptAir Express.
The airline selected the E-Jets family in September 2006 by placing an order for six aircraft, plus
six options, the latter being confirmed last February. EgyptAir Express currently operates six EJets,
serving primary and secondary destinations in domestic and regional markets.
“We are very pleased by Embraer’s recognition and its trust in our maintenance capabilities,
which gives us a leading position at a time when the E-Jets family is enjoying such
tremendous success in the Middle East and Africa,” said Abdel Aziz Fadel, CEO of EgyptAir
Maintenance & Engineering.
About Parts Pool Program
This special customer support program consists of onsite storage of replacement and
exchange parts, plus repair management, and it enables airlines to take maximum advantage
of economies of scale, as well as improved spare parts availability and provisioning cost
improvements. This helps reduce storage investments, makes cost budgeting possible,
minimizes the risk of keeping surpluses on hand, and cuts into overhead requirements, thus
