Aerocardal has joined the Embraer authorised service centre network, dedicated to executive jets in Chile. The Chilean company is based at Arturo Merino Benítez International airport in Santiago and has been in the executive aviation market since 1991. Aerocardal will provide line maintenance services for the Phenom 300, including unscheduled maintenance, AOG support and drop-ins to local and external customers operating in the country.

“Embraer continues to quickly accelerate the strategic positioning of its authorised service centre network, and we are pleased to now partner with Aerocardal in Chile. It is based in a strategic hub and has provided excellent service to its customers over the last decades. We hope to have a successful partnership with Aerocardal and keep expanding Embraer's capacity, capability and MRO footprint in Latin America and worldwide,” states Frank Stevens, vice president MRO services, Embraer Services & Support.

Embraer has nine company-owned service centres for executive aviation and has recently doubled its MRO-dedicated capacity in the US, with new maintenance lines for business jets in Dallas Love Field in Texas, Cleveland in Ohio and Sanford in Florida.
