Embraer has entered a strategic partnership with ILIAS Solutions (ILIAS), a specialist in mission-driven defence software. The agreement aims to sharpen fleet management capabilities and strengthen operational efficiency for military operators worldwide.
Under the partnership, Embraer will integrate ILIAS’s advanced software suite into its existing maintenance and logistics ecosystem for operators of the C-390 Millennium and A-29 Super Tucano. By connecting these systems, the collaboration will help armed forces streamline data flows across operations, maintenance, and supply chain management. The combined solution is designed to support smarter resource allocation, reduce administrative complexity, and ultimately enhance overall mission readiness.
Douglas Lobo, Vice-President of Customer Support & Aftermarket Sales at Embraer Services & Support, said the agreement deepens Embraer’s collaboration with the Netherlands’ industrial base while delivering a next-generation fleet management system to customers operating its aircraft. He emphasised that the partnership reflects Embraer’s ongoing commitment to offering high-quality support solutions that meet the evolving needs of defence clients.
Jean-Pierre Wildschut, Chief Executive of ILIAS Solutions, echoed this sentiment, stressing the value of the partnership in expanding the company’s proven fleet management offering. He noted that the integration will deliver clear added value to Embraer’s global customer base.
The fleet management system provides immediate visibility of fleet status through a unified, reliable data environment. This single source of truth helps increase mission readiness across all platforms by reducing data fragmentation and improving coordination. For commanders, the system brings real-time analytics and clear operational insights, enabling faster, better-informed decisions at critical moments. The partnership signals a decisive step towards more connected, efficient, and resilient military air operations.
