The contract includes a specific parts pool program for Embraer’s military customers, in which inventory costs are shared among the customers purchasing the service. This is a cost-effective way to ensure the availability of ERJ-135/145, Legacy 600/650 and AEW&C operated by defense forces and government customers.

The program has been in operation for more than 15 years and has provided efficient and effective service to Embraer’s customers.
