TUI has
signed a Pool Program contract with Embraer to support the group’s fleet of
E195-E2 aircraft.
The deal provides TUI with access to
component exchanges and repair services for more than 340
reparable and interchangeable parts.
TUI is scheduled to take delivery of three E195-E2 on
a long-term lease from AerCap in H1 2023. The aircraft feature 136 seats in a single-class
configuration.
“Signing this new agreement with Embraer for the
E195-E2 Pool Program, ensures a high component availability and
access to a comprehensive support and services package. This will
allow us to operate our new E2 jets for our guests according to
TUI’s high operational standards,” said Geert Somers, Engineering
& Maintenance Director at TUI Airline.
Embraer’s Pool Program is designed to allow
airlines to minimize their upfront investment in high-value
repairable inventories and resources, while taking advantage of
Embraer’s technical expertise and vast repair service provider
network for components.
The results are significant savings on
repair and inventory carrying costs, reduction in required
warehousing space, and the virtual elimination of the need for
resources required for repair management, while ultimately
providing guaranteed performance levels.
“It’s a pleasure for Embraer to have TUI on board
the Pool Program. Beyond having access to all Embraer’s spare
parts inventory, TUI will count on the OEM’s expertise to support
its E2 fleet,” said Danielle Vardaro, Vice-President of Worldwide
Customer Support and Aftermarket Sales, Commercial Aviation,
Embraer Services & Support.
Embraer’s Pool Program currently supports
more than 50 airlines worldwide.
