Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer has appointed SIAEP, a subsidiary of SIA Engineering Company Limited, as its first authorized service centre in the Asia-Pacific region to perform maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for Embraer’s E-Jets E2 family of aircraft.
SIAEP has been an authorized service center in Asia-Pacific for Embraer’s first-generation E-Jets since 2017. SIAEP has three hangars located at Clark Airport outside Manila, Philippines.
“SIAEP has been a key partner for Embraer in the region in the last years,” said Embraer’s Frank Stevens. “With this new agreement, SIAEP becomes even more strategic for the future of our company in the region as the E2 fleet grows. We are very pleased with this step ahead on our long-term partnership.”
“We are delighted to extend our existing partnership with Embraer and play a key role in supporting their growth in the Asia-Pacific region,” said SIAEC’s Jeremy Yew. “We look forward to providing quality and efficient base maintenance services to the E2 fleet at our facility in Clark.”
The growing Embraer Services & Support footprint is an important development of Embraer’s expansion strategy in the Asia Pacific region. Embraer’s E-Jets fleet in Asia Pacific, comprising both the first-generation E-Jets and the E-Jets E2, are operated by airlines in Singapore, Australia, India, Myanmar, Japan and China.
Singapore’s Scoot has a firm order of nine E190-E2 jets, two of which have commenced flying this year, with more to follow. Scoot is the first E-Jet E2 operator in Southeast Asia. Additionally, Virgin Australia announced a firm order for eight E190-E2 in August this year, with deliveries scheduled to start in the second half of 2025.
