Embraer Executive Jets has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Air Works Pvt Ltd to provide full maintenance support to its Legacy 500 and Legacy 450 customers in India.
The agreement comes ahead of the Legacy 500 midsize aircraft’s entry into service in the first half of 2014. The Legacy 450 mid-light jet’s certification is expected in 2015.
This is the second MoU signed to support the Legacy 500 in India.
“This MoU with Air Works is yet another step in our preparation to fully support Legacy 500  and Legacy 450 customers upon delivery of their aircraft,” says Edson Carlos Mallaco, Vice President Customer Support and Services, Embraer Executive Jets.
Airworks , an independent maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) company, also acts as  an Embraer Authorised Service Center (EASC) for Phenom executive jets in India.
“We have a long standing relationship with Embraer Executive Jets and have been providing support to their customers since 2010,” said Vivek N. Gour, Managing Director & CEO of Air  Works Pvt Ltd.
 “We are proud to be able to provide support for their latest Legacy 500 and  Legacy 450 aircraft. This is in addition to the support we currently provide for owners and  operators of the Phenom 100, Phenom 300, and the line maintenance support for the Legacy  600 and Legacy 650 in India,” Gour says.
The multiple Embraer Authorized Service Centers in India are also supported by Embraer’s customer support team in Singapore, with access to spare parts inventory in Bangalore, Singapore, and Australia.
“India is one of the countries with a fleet of the complete portfolio of Embraer Executive Jets in operation, which  we support with a network of Embraer authorized service centers, strategically located across the nation, and field support representatives to swiftly respond to our customers’ needs,” Mallaco says.
Embraer Executive Jets had earlier signed a MoU with another Indian company Indamer Aviation Private Limited to provide maintenance support for the midsize Legacy 500 aircraft. Indamer is one of an initial 17 service centers worldwide to enter into MoUs with Embraer Executive Jets for Legacy 500 product support.
The MoU with Indamer extends the maintenance service provider’s mission in India, where it already offers line and base maintenance for the entire portfolio of Embraer’s Executive Jets in India. Indamer also provides services for Embraer’s complete range of products, in India, including the entry-level Phenom 100, super-midsize Legacy 600, long-range Legacy 650 and ultra-large Lineage 1000.
