The U.K.'s Inflite maintenance services provider, based at London Stansted Airport, was certified, this week, by the European Aviation Safety
Agency (EASA) for Phenom 100 maintenance. Inflite is the first Embraer authorized service center in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) to be awarded this certification.
"We are delighted to expand our relationship with Inflite and achieve this important milestone," said Antonio Martini, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support and Services - Europe, the Middle East and Africa - Executive Jets. "It's very gratifying to celebrate another EASA authorization in our network, just a few days after receiving the certification of our own service center in Le Bourget. We are working hard to offer our Phenom customers the best support in the EMEA region through a strong network of authorized service centers."
The Inflite maintenance staff has taken its theoretical training at Embraer CAE Training Services (ECTS) and practical training at Embraer's Gavião Peixoto plant, in Brazil.
"Inflite, which has been an authorized service center for the Legacy 600 super midsize jet since 2004, is proud to become the first authorized service center certified for the Phenom 100 in Europe," said Steve Buckingham, Managing Director of Inflite. "This exciting new entry level
jet is a welcome addition to our growing portfolio, and this award further cements our commitment and relationship to the Embraer Executive Jet family."
