One year ago, Embraer and EgyptAir Maintenance & Engineering signed a long-term Parts Pool Program services contract for the support of the six EMBRAER 170 jets operated by EgyptAir Express.

Leandro Laia, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support and Services – Europe, Africa and Middle East said, “It’s a great honor for us to strengthen our links with EgyptAir Maintenance & Engineering, which is one of the most respected MRO parts providers in the Middle East.”

In May-07, the first EMBRAER 170 was delivered to EgyptAir’s subsidiary, EgyptAir Express. The airline selected the E-Jets family in Sept-06 by placing an order for six aircraft, plus six options, the latter being confirmed last February. EgyptAir Express currently operates six EJets, serving primary and secondary destinations in domestic and regional markets.
