Embraer has been awarded two Diamond Certificates of Excellence
by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its recently
certified wholly owned executive jet service centers in Mesa,
Arizona, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Diamond Certificate of
Excellence is the FAA’s highest award for excellence in
aviation maintenance training. Both Embraer service centers are
part of a US$ 100 million investment made by the Company to provide
its Executive Jets customers with the best infrastructure and
organization in maintenance and repair.
“Embraer recognizes the need to continuously develop and
expand the level of expertise and knowledge of its employees who
perform the important aircraft maintenance inspections,” said
Jacques Blondeau, Director of Embraer Maintenance, Repair and
Overhaul (MRO) Centers, Executive Jets. “This is why we give
top priority to a fully trained service center workforce, since it
is what all our customers should expect of a company that provides
superior quality in its products and services.”
This important milestone highlights
Embraer’s active participation in the FAA Aviation Technician
Training Program, and reassures the owners of Phenom and Legacy
aircraft that the Company is committed to meeting customer demands
by providing consistent and quality care by highly skilled aircraft
technicians.
“When customers decide to join the Embraer Executive Jet
family, they get more than a great aircraft. They receive the
support and services of a dedicated organization by having their
needs and expectations made a top priority,” concluded
Blondeau.
About the US’s FAA Awards
The Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) Award was established
by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to encourage aviation
companies and technicians to continuously pursue the highest
standards of maintenance training. To that end, the FAA issues the
annual awards to employees and their employers in recognition of
outstanding achievement. Employees receive FAA AMT Awards based on
the number of maintenance training hours taken during each calendar
year. In turn, employers may get Certificates of Excellence based
on the percentage of employees who earn AMT Awards. The Diamond
Certificate of Excellence is the FAA’s highest award for
excellence in aircraft maintenance training, and to receive it the
facility must have all of its technicians AMT-qualified in the same
year.
