ECIP program will support the EMBRAER 190 jet soon to enter service with the airline
São José dos Campos, August 26, 2008 – Embraer signed a five-year Embraer Collaborative
Inventory Parts (ECIP) service contract with Kun Peng Airlines Co., Ltd., the newest E-Jets
operator in China. Kun Peng currently has more than 1,900 part numbers from seven
maintenance bases covered by ECIP.
“With this program, Kun Peng Airlines will optimize its spare parts supply chain by
simplifying it,” said Siu Ying Yeung, Vice President, Customer Support and Services –
Embraer China. “We increased our spare parts support assurance to Kun Peng through
proactive participation in its supply process, which will result in great aircraft availability.
This is win-win cooperation for both of us.”
The ECIP program monitors customer parts usage, guarantees automatic stock replenishment,
shortens delivery times for contracted parts, and establishes a baseline for the carriers to better
manage their costs. By reducing the workload for planning, controlling and purchasing
expendable parts, the airlines can also save management time for repairable items.
“Supported by ECIP, we expect to significantly reduce the operational risk of our EMBRAER 190
by having the spare parts supply well guaranteed,” said Han Dexing, Vice President, Safety
and Maintenance, Kun Peng Airlines. “We are looking forward to being covered by more
Embraer service programs, and we firmly believe that due to the sound cooperation between
both parties, the future operation of our EMBRAER 190 will be very good.”
Kun Peng Airlines is a joint venture between China’s Shen Zhen Airlines and the Mesa Air
Group, of the United States. In July 2008, Embraer announced a firm order for five
EMBRAER 190 jets by Kun Peng, which will become the second operator of the E-Jets
family in mainland China. The first delivery is scheduled for August 2008.
