European Aviation Safety Agency Certifies Fort Lauderdale, FL,
And Mesa, AZ Operations
Embraer’s European Executive Jets customers have two
company-owned service centers in the United States certified by the
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA): one in Mesa, AZ, and the
other in Fort Lauderdale, FL. The two facilities were inaugurated
last year – September 15 and October 27, respectively –
and are able to perform non-routine maintenance services on the
Phenom 100 and Legacy 600 jets registered in Europe.

“EASA’s Part 145 certification of two Embraer wholly
owned-and-operated service centers enhances our capacity to better
respond to our European customers, giving them more flexibility
when flying in the United States,” says Scott Kalister,
Embraer Vice President, Customer Support USA, Canada, Mexico and
the Caribbean – Executive Jets. In addition to supporting
existing Legacy 600 and Phenom 100 customers based in Europe,
Embraer stands ready to support Phenom 100 deliveries en route from
Brazil to their new European bases.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida operation is a 55,500-square-foot
facility providing full-service care for Embraer’s Phenom
100, Legacy 600 and, in the future, Phenom 300, Legacy 450 and
Legacy 500 executive jets. The 45,000 square-foot facility at
Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport, in Mesa, Arizona, is authorized to
service the same aircraft. The two company owned-and-operated
executive jet service centers consist of a hangar, workshops and
office space.
