Brazilian airframer Embraer and Jazz Aviation have signed a spare parts inventory support agreement covering the airline’s E-Jets fleet.
Jazz, the largest regional airline in Canada and the primary operator of Air Canada Express, currently operates 25 E-175 aircraft and will become the first customer in Canada for Embraer’s Collaborative Inventory Planning (ECIP) programme.
The data-driven programme is designed to support inventory planning and materials availability, with Embraer covering most of the spare parts investment and managing materials to help reduce airline downtime.
Carlos Naufel, president and chief executive of Embraer Services & Support, said: “The new contract shows the fast pace at which Embraer Services & Support is growing in North America, home of the world’s largest E-Jets footprint. We look forward to supporting Jazz, our first customer in Canada, and helping them reduce downtime and strengthen their performance.”
Doug Clarke, president of Jazz, said: “This agreement with Embraer represents another important step in strengthening the reliability and efficiency of our E-Jets operations across North America.
“By participating in the ECIP programme, we’re leveraging Embraer’s global materials expertise to reduce downtime and support consistent, high-quality service for our Air Canada Express passengers.”
ECIP provides customers with fixed yearly pricing for each part, predefined lead times and guaranteed performance levels from Embraer Services & Support.
The programme also uses weekly ordering recommendations based on customer usage and stock level data, supported by Embraer’s planning expertise, materials management capabilities and global logistics network.
The deal was announced during the MRO Americas 2026 event in Orlando.
