Under this contract, four ERJ-145 AEW&C and one ERJ-135LR aircraft will receive full integrated logistic support services.
Embraer will supply integrated logistical support services for the Hellenic Air Force’s fleet of four ERJ-145 AEW&C and one ERJ-135LR aircraft through the recently signed Follow-On Support Agreement contract. The contract includes maintenance, repair, pool, spare parts, and technical services for the five Embraer jets that the Hellenic Air Force currently operates.
General Kontantinous Kleniatis, Chief of Staff of the Hellenic Air Force Support Command, said, “The Hellenic Air Force is pleased to sign this contract with Embraer. We have been operating the aircraft since January 2000 and have counted on excellent support from Embraer when needed. With the Follow On Support Agreement, the Hellenic Air Force will raise even more the readiness and availability of its fleet.”
For Embraer’s military clients, the contract includes a parts pool programme wherein inventory costs are divided amongst customers using the service. This is an affordable method of guaranteeing availability for the AEW&C, Legacy 600/650, and ERJ-135/145 used by government and defence customers.
Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support, said, “Embraer is honored to be selected by the Hellenic Air Force for this contract, which demonstrates their trust in our platform and support. Our solution is very competitive and Hellenic Air Force’s decision for this model reinforces a worldwide trend, with customers looking for a complete logistics solution.”

The contract includes a dedicated parts Pool Program for Embraer’s military customers, in which inventory costs are shared between customers purchasing the service. Over the course of its more than 15 years of operation, the programme has allowed for the availability of high-value resources, support, and component exchange services.
