The Agreement between the two companies aims to support Embraer jet operators at Congonhas Airport.
Embraer, a Brazilian multinational aerospace manufacturer recently announced a partnership with VOAR Aviation with the objective to offer unscheduled services to Embraer executive aviation customers at the Congonhas Airport in São Paulo. The announcement of the newly formed collaboration was made duringthe Latin America Business Aviation Conference and Exhibition (LABACE) 2022. Embraer aims to continue the strengthening of its operations of maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services and support the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) to meet the growth of executive aviation in Brazil.
“This agreement with VOAR is the ideal complement to the expansion of Embraer’s service operations in Brazil. We will be even closer to our customers, establishing our presence in the most important airport in the country for business aviation,” said Frank Stevens, Vice President, Global MRO Centers, Embraer Services & Support.
Earlier in 2022, Embraer had inaugurated the new hangars at the Sorocaba Service Center in the countryside of São Paulo. The new hangers have an operational area twice as large as compared to the previous one. The partnership with VOAR takes place less than two months after the hanger was inaugurated. The unit, celebrated eight years of operation in March 2022, and now has four operational hangars, three of which are dedicated to MRO and one to FBO.
“Partnering with Embraer makes perfect sense for VOAR, as we have a large fleet of the company’s aircraft using our facilities. The customer, who will be the main beneficiary, wins,” said Alessandra Abrão, CEO of VOAR Aviation.
Embraer is a manufacturer of commercial jets for up to 150 seats and the main exporter of high-value-added goods in Brazil. The company maintains industrial units, offices, and service and parts distribution centers, among other activities, across the Americas, Africa, Asia and Europe.
Everton Vicente, MRO & FBO Managing Director, Embraer Services & Support said, “The main goal is to offer dedicated support at the Congonhas Airport, further improving our customer’s satisfaction. We aim to bring benefits such as greater agility in service, with local teams supporting the operation, and greater network integration, both owned and authorized.”
