Embraer has signed a multi-year contract with Royal Jordanian Airlines to support a total fleet of eight E190-E2 and E-195-E2 jets with its Pool Program.

The agreement will provide support for a wide range of repairable components for the jets that will be added to Royal Jordanian’s fleet.

Samer Majali, Royal Jordanian vice chairman/chief executive, said: “Royal Jordanian has for many years enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Embraer with our currently operating Embraer fleet.

“For the new generation E2 jets, we have been working with Embraer on all the supporting functions that go into having a smooth entry into service targeted by the end of this year.

“Therefore, we see that the Pool Program agreement that we signed with Embraer as a natural fit that provides a cost effective and practical parts solution, accompanied with Embraer’s expertise and support.”

Embraer’s Pool Program currently supports more than 60 airlines worldwide.

Carlos Naufel, president and chief executive of Embraer Services and Support, said: “We are honoured to celebrate this agreement with Royal Jordanian to support their E2 fleet.

“The Pool Program will support a smooth Entry Into Service of RJ’s fleet helping them reducing costs in repair and inventory supported by Embraer’s global footprint.

“We have a long relationship with the company, and we are excited for this new chapter starting with the E2 family.”
