Embraer has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with SIAEP, a subsidiary of SIA Engineering Company Limited (SIAEC), to explore a further partnership to include MRO services for Embraer’s E-Jets E2 family of aircraft.

SIAEP has been an authorised service centre in Asia-Pacific for Embraer’s first-generation E-Jets since 2017.

Frank Stevens, vice president of global MRO centres for Embraer, said: “We would like to recognise SIAEP for their years of dedication and support rendered to Embraer’s E-Jet operators in the region.

“This MoU lays a good foundation for us to discuss further support of the growing E-Jets E2 fleet in the region, in addition to the established footprint of E-Jets in APAC.”

Jeremy Yew, SIAEC’s senior vice president of base maintenance, said: “We look forward to exploring with Embraer the possibility of extending SIAEP’s existing partnership with them to include the provision of quality and efficient base maintenance services to support the E2 fleet in Asia-Pacific.”
