Embraer has signed a five-year service contract with Chinese operator Kun Peng Airlines for the provision of E-Jets spare parts.
Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has announced the signing of a new five-year services contract with Kung Pen Airlines, a carrier based in China.
Under the terms of the collaborative inventory parts (CIP) contract, Kun Peng will have access to more than 1,900 part numbers from seven maintenance bases for its E-Jets.
"With this program, Kun Peng Airlines will optimise its spare parts supply chain by simplifying it," said Siu Ying Yeung, vice-president of customer support and services for Embraer's Chinese operations.
"We increased our spare parts support assurance to Kun Peng through proactive participation in its supply process, which will result in great aircraft availability. This is win-win cooperation for both of us."
The Chinese carrier operates Embraer 190s, narrow-body, twin-engine, medium-range jetliners capable of transporting over 100 passengers.
As of June 2008, 410 -Jets have been delivered, while orders have been received for 847 more aircraft as well as options for an additional 827.  |
