Embraer to improve customer support network in Russia

At the sixth Russian International Business Aviation Exhibition, JetExpo 2011, Embraer signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jet Aviation Moscow Vnukovo, to work on establishing an enhanced maintenance service able to respond 24/7 with certified mechanics, special tools and a readily available on-site spare parts stock. Already approved as Embraer Authorized Service Center at Vnukovo International Airport (VKO) since 2009 for line support, Jet Aviation will hold a comprehensive stock of parts consigned by Embraer available for Legacy 600 and Legacy 650 executive jets. Embraer and Jet Aviation are working together to have this enhanced service implemented by December 2011, right after the contract is signed. Jet Aviation will consequently increase its workforce to better support Legacy customers.
