CommuteAir and Embraer have expanded their cooperation by entering into a contract for the Exchange Plus Program to support CommuteAir’s E-Jet fleet. Through the program, CommuteAir will be able to access tailored inventory management and repair services from Embraer’s worldwide supply chain.

“CommuteAir is excited to build on its existing partnership with Embraer for our ERJ145 aircraft to now include parts inventory and repair support for our E-Jet aircraft,” said Lon Ziegler, CommuteAir’s Vice President of Technical Operations. “Embraer will help ensure we have a ready supply of parts to support our charter operations using the 76-seat E170 aircraft.”

“We are very pleased to partner with CommuteAir to offer the Exchange Plus Program for supporting its E-Jet operation. Embraer has a long-term relationship with the company and our goal is to offer the best-in-class support that makes the difference on our customer’s operations”, said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.

Exchange Plus Program is an integrated solution for customers seeking efficiency and cost-effective management of repairable components.
