Brazil’s Embraer has announced that it has signed a long-term Pool Program Agreement with the U.S. carrier Breeze Airways (Breeze) to support a wide range of repairable components for the airline’s E190s and E195s fleet. Full repair coverage for components and parts are included in the agreement, plus access to a substantial stock of components at Embraer’s distribution center, which will Breeze from the onset.
The program will provide the most efficient and reliable solutions to Breeze’s E-Jets fleet. The airline will benefit from the availability of spare parts, enjoy significant savings on repair and service costs. The Pool Program currently supports more than 50 airlines worldwide. Embraer’s Flight Hour Pool Program is designed to allow airlines to minimize their upfront investment on high-value repairable inventories and resources while taking advantage of Embraer’s technical expertise and vast component repair service provider network.
Founded by aviation entrepreneur David Neeleman, Breeze is a new low-cost airline due to launch this year. The carrier intends to offer point-to-point flights from smaller, secondary airports, enabling travelers to get to their destination in half the time for roughly half the cost.
