UK’s Eastern Airways joins Embraer’s Pool Program

Eastern Airways, the most recent operator to join the E-Jet family, has signed a Flight Hour Pool Program contract. The pool agreement, for up to six years, covers more than 300 part numbers for Eastern Airways’ two recently acquired E170 jets. The airline, based in the UK, also operates three Embraer ERJ 145 jets. Embraer’s Flight Hour Pool Program, which is currently supporting more than 65% of E-Jets customers worldwide, is designed to minimize airlines’ up-front investment in high-value repairable inventories and resources, while taking advantage of Embraer’s technical expertise and its vast component service provider network.
