Envoy Air Inc. and JSX under the agreements will receive the airframe maintenance and repair services provided by Embraer’s portfolio of solutions.
Embraer announced the signing of two heavy maintenance services contracts worth a combined $72 million by Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS) in Macon, Georgia. Both companies will receive the airframe maintenance and repair services provided by Embraer’s portfolio of solutions under the agreements, which have been signed with Envoy Air Inc. and JSX.
“We welcome Envoy back to EAMS as a recurring customer of heavy maintenance and look forward to the start of new partnerships with JSX for our support,” said Frank Stevens, Vice President, Global MRO Centers, Embraer Services & Support. “Macon continues to expand, and these new lines will promote growth within the area and open job positions for qualified talent. Overall, these contracts are mutually beneficial for our partners as we can provide exceptional service while expanding our operations,” he further added.
Although the new contract only includes one nose-to-tail heavy maintenance line, Envoy has used EAMS since 2002 and has periodically outsourced maintenance lines to the company since 2011. Embraer and JSX have agreed to a lengthy contract for two nose-to-tail heavy maintenance lines.
