Embraer has inaugurated new hangars at its
Sorocaba Service Center in the São Paulo countryside, doubling
hangar space from 20,000 sqm to 40,000 sqm.
The unit, which completed eight years of operation
in March 2022, now has four hangars, three of which are dedicated
to maintenance, repair and component overhaul (MRO) services and
one to support fixed-base operator (FBO) operations.
“There is consistent growth in the executive
aviation segment in Brazil and we see great opportunities for the
service sector in the coming years, aligned with our growth plans
for both the Services & Support business unit and Embraer itself,”
said Johann Bordais, President, and CEO of Embraer Services &
Support. “This investment reaffirms Embraer's commitment to
serving its customers more comprehensively and with even better
support.”

Embraer Sorocaba offers a complete portfolio
of services for maintenance, interior refurbishments, hangarage,
airport services, stopover assistance and aircraft preservation,
in addition to approved workshops for various aeronautical
components.
The facility also has the capacity to
perform aircraft modifications, such as the conversion of Legacy
450 jets into Praetor 500 jets.
“The new capacity
in the Sorocaba facilities enables us to meet both current and
future demand, not only for the executive jet segment but also for
commercial and defense aviation customers,” said Frank Stevens,
Vice President, Global MRO Centers, Embraer Services & Support.
“The expansion of our own maintenance service network is also
aligned with Embraer's strategic goals, such as efficiency gains
and greater resource synergy.”
Sorocaba Service Center has
received nine certifications from national and international
agencies, such as Brazil's National Civil Aviation Agency (ANAC),
the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), and the European
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), serving the complete portfolio of
jets produced by Embraer in the business, commercial, defense and
security aviation segments.
