Embraer has renewed its long-term maintenance agreement with Republic Airways. The deal covers heavy maintenance for the airline’s fleet of more than 240 E170 and E175 aircraft.
All maintenance work will continue at Embraer’s Services & Support facilities in Nashville, Tennessee. Republic Airways has relied on this site for heavy maintenance on its E-Jets since 2011. The agreement also includes component support and drop-in AOG (aircraft on ground) repair services, ensuring rapid response to technical needs.
Frank Stevens, Vice President of MRO Services at Embraer Services & Support, welcomed the continued partnership. “We are very excited to extend our relationship with Republic Airways,” he said. “This renewed agreement reinforces our commitment to delivering high-quality maintenance services. We will continue to prioritise safety and quality for Republic Airways and all our customers across the United States.”
Over the past decade, Republic Airways has completed more than 650 heavy maintenance visits at Embraer’s Nashville facilities. These projects have required over 3.3 million labour hours, reflecting the strong collaboration between both teams.
Under the new extension, Embraer will handle around 225 additional heavy maintenance visits. The agreement also secures three dedicated maintenance bays for Republic Airways, giving the airline more capacity and flexibility in scheduling.
This partnership highlights Embraer’s continued investment in customer support and operational reliability. By maintaining Republic’s E-Jet fleet, Embraer ensures consistent performance and safety across one of the largest regional fleets in North America.
Through this long-term cooperation, both companies strengthen their commitment to efficiency, reliability, and service excellence. The renewed agreement confirms Embraer’s position as a trusted MRO partner and underlines Republic Airways’ confidence in its technical expertise and high maintenance standards.
