JSSI adds Tip-to-Tail coverage for new Embraer Legacy 450 and 500; enrolls Bon Air as launch customer

Jet Support Services, Inc. (JSSI), the leading provider of hourly cost maintenance programs for the business aviation industry, has announced its Tip-to-Tail program coverage for Embraer's new Legacy 500 and Legacy 450 business jets. Bon Air Havacilik, a Turkey based air taxi business, has enrolled as the first JSSI Legacy 500 program customer. The new mid-size and light mid-size aircraft programs designed by JSSI include airframe, Honeywell HTF7500E engine, and Honeywell 36-150 auxiliary power unit (APU) coverage.

“With the Legacy 500 entering the market late last year and the 450 expected to be in service later this year, we are well positioned to support this fleet with our airframe, engine and APU programs as buyers take delivery,” commented Neil Book, president and chief executive officer of JSSI. “We are grateful to Bon Air for choosing JSSI as our first new Legacy 500 Tip-to-Tail client and we look forward to delivering quality service to them for years to come. Our goal is to deliver innovative programs for new production aircraft that enhance the OEM's warranty, reduce our clients' overall cost of maintenance, improve residual value of their assets, and ultimately provide a customer support experience that is second to none,” added Mr. Book.

JSSI's trademarked Tip-to-Tail hourly cost maintenance program offers an all-inclusive, comprehensive maintenance program that drives down costs and provides budget stability. JSSI introduced its Tip-to-Tail hourly cost maintenance program in 1997 by adding airframe and APU coverage to its legacy engine programs. Tip-to-Tail is ideal for the client desiring a single source solution for the entire aircraft, because it covers virtually every assembly and system on the aircraft. Today, JSSI offers Tip-to-Tail coverage for more than 175 different aircraft models in addition to the Embraer Legacy family. New Legacy 450 and 500 business jet buyers also have the option of enrolling in a stand-alone JSSI engine or APU program.
