EMBRAER EXPANDS ROLE OF INFLITE TO INCLUDE LINEAGE SERVICES
The Company’s authorized service center in the U.K. now supports the Lineage 1000 jet
São José dos Campos, May 3, 2010 – Embraer’s ultra-large Lineage 1000 executive jet now
has an authorized service center in the U.K. The support will be provided by Inflite
(www.inflite.co.uk), through a longstanding partnership that began with the Legacy 600, back
in 2004, and was expanded last year to include the entry level Phenom 100 jet.
“Our owned and authorized worldwide
service center network is constantly growing
and expanding to ensure we are always there
to meet customer’s needs,” said Antonio
Martini Neto, Embraer Vice President,
Customer Support and Services, Europe, the
Middle East and Africa – Executive Jets.
“The long partnership with Inflite and its
high level of services is now extended to a
third product from our portfolio, further
enhancing customer options for maintenance,
checks, and special needs.”
Inflite is finishing the construction of a new hangar dedicated to Embraer Executive Jets, bringing its capacity up to handling three Lineage 1000 heavy maintenance checks at the same time. As sales increase throughout the world, the Embraer’s support and services network is also
expanding, in order to meet customer needs and to ensure the best experience in the industry.
“We are both proud and honored that Inflite has received this further endorsement from
Embraer for the Lineage 1000 jet,” said Steve Buckingham, Managing Director, Inflite
Engineering Services. “Inflite is confident in its strategy for total support of the evolving fleet
of Embraer Executive Jets products. Our ability to remain dynamic has helped us to firm up
our long-term support and commitment to Embraer.”
