Embraer announced today at MRO Europe, a major aircraft maintenance event, an agreement for the Pool Program with KLM Cityhopper, a regional subsidiary of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
The contract includes extensive for components of the airline's E195-E2 jets. Currently, the Pool Program serves more than 50 airlines worldwide.
In early 2021, the airline received the first E195-E2 of the 25 jets ordered, with all E2 jets covered by this contract. Currently, KLM Cityhopper already operates a total of four E195-E2s, in addition to a fleet of 49 first-generation E-Jets.
“As the airline with the largest fleet of E-Jets in Europe, KLM Cityhopper has extensive experience in operating and maintaining these jets – and very high standards, particularly with regard to aircraft availability. This contract is a major endorsement of KLM Cityhopper and builds on Embraer's successful offering of comprehensive and services to E2 customers.”, said Johann Bordais, President and CEO, Embraer Services & .
O Pool Program allows airlines to minimize upfront investments in inventory and high-value repairables by leveraging Embraer's technical expertise and its vast network of component repair service providers.
The results are significant savings in repair and inventory holding costs, reduction in required storage space, and almost complete elimination of the need for resources required for repair management, while ensuring performance levels.
The E195-E2, Embraer's new generation aircraft, is specifically designed to reduce emissions and noise pollution. The E2's environmental credentials are impressive.
The low external noise level is already well below future limits planned by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Carbon emissions are nearly 10% lower per trip and 31% lower per seat. In a normal year, each E195-E2 will emit 1.500 tonnes less carbon pollutants.
