Embraer Constructing Second Bizjet Service Center
Embraer on Monday broke ground for its second executive jet service center in the U.S. at Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn. The event comes just three weeks after a groundbreaking ceremony at Williams Gateway Airport in Mesa, Ariz., for a similar facility. The 45,000-square-foot Windsor Locks center is scheduled for completion in mid-2008 and will be dedicated to after-sales service for Embraers Phenom 100, Phenom 300 and Legacy 600 executive jets. “Today’s ground breaking marks another chapter in Embraer’s commitment to provide first-class service and product support to our increasing customer base,” said Embraer President and CEO Frederico Fleury Curado. Ground-breaking on a third purpose-built, factory owned-and-operated service center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., will take place next month.

Embraer said each service center facility will be capable of providing full-service aircraft care, including routine inspection, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, and airframe, powerplant, avionics, and other systems repairs, 24/7 assistance, Aircraft On Ground (AOG) rescue team and an inventory of expendable and repairable parts.
