Embraer has signed a long-term pool program agreement with CommutAir, a United Express carrier, to support the airline's ERJ 145 jet fleet. This new contract includes full repair coverage for components and parts, as well as access to a large stock of components at Embraer's distribution center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Currently, the pool program supports more than 50 airlines worldwide.
With a total of 168 aircraft under lease, CommutAir now maintains the largest ERJ 145 fleet, recently becoming the sole regional partner to operate the ERJ145 for United Airlines. Under this agreement, CommutAir and United will consolidate their ERJ 145 spare component inventory with Embraer's pool program to improve stock levels and reliability. In April 2021, CommutAir selected Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS) in Macon, Georgia, as one of its primary heavy maintenance providers for the airline's fleet of ERJ145 aircraft. The agreement includes airframe maintenance, modifications, and repair services.
