Fokker Services Asia, a subsidiary of Fokker Services Group (FSG), has officially been appointed as an Embraer Authorized Service Centre. The agreement was signed during the Aviation Week MRO Asia Pacific 2024 event in Singapore, marking a significant milestone for both companies.
With this certification, Fokker Services Asia is now authorized to provide maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for Embraer’s first-generation E-Jets family, with a particular focus on the E190 model. This strategic move enhances FSG’s MRO capabilities in the Asia Pacific region while expanding Embraer’s service network in one of the fastest-growing aviation markets.
Frank Stevens, Vice President of MRO Services at Embraer Services & Support, commented, “We are very happy to partner with Fokker Services Asia to offer a strategic additional location to our customers. This will potentially provide more capacity, capability, and help us to keep expanding Embraer’s Authorized Service Centre footprint in Asia-Pacific.”
Leon Kouters, Vice President of Sales & Marketing at FSG, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “We are thrilled to have met all the stringent requirements set forth in the contract and to now be recognized as an Embraer Authorized Service Centre.”
Thomas Kennedy, Managing Director of Fokker Services Asia, highlighted the significance of the certification, saying, “This Embraer certification will further enhance Fokker Services Asia by establishing a comprehensive new line of work for Embraer aircraft maintenance in the region. The presence of the first Embraer aircraft from Alliance Airlines (Australia) already in our hangar is a testament to our readiness and commitment.”
The certification marks an important milestone for Embraer as the company looks to further strengthen its support network for E-Jets operated by airlines in Australia, India, Myanmar, Japan, and China.
