Embraer, a leading global aerospace company, has taken a significant step toward enhancing its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for its advanced E2 jet family by formalizing a Non-Binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SIA Engineering Corporation (SIAEP), a subsidiary of SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC). This collaboration represents a strategic move aimed at expanding and enhancing the support network for Embraer’s E2 jet family within the Asia-Pacific region.

Over the years, this partnership has played a vital role in supporting the operators of Embraer’s E-Jets in the region, fostering strong relationships and trust among the operators and service providers.
“We would like to recognize the years of dedication and support provided by SIAEP to Embraer E-Jets operators in the region”, says Frank Stevens, Vice President of Global MRO Centers, Embraer.“With the Memorandum of Understanding, we have a basis to discuss expanding support for the growing fleet of E2 jets in the region beyond the already established presence of E-Jets in Asia-Pacific,” he further added.
“We look forward to exploring with Embraer the possibility of extending the existing partnership with SIAEP to include the provision of efficient and quality maintenance services to support the E2 fleet in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Jeremy Yew, Senior Vice President, SIAEC Maintenance.
