Embraer has signed a long-term Pool Program services agreement with Star Air to support the airline’s growing E175 fleet. Star Air has leased four E175s in 2022 with two of them in operation since May 2023. The contract provides access to the Pool Program, which includes component exchanges and repair services for a wide range of repairable components for the airline’s E175s.
The E175 Pool Program agreement is in addition to the ongoing pool program for Star Air’s fleet of five ERJ145s.
“We thank Star Air for their continued trust in us as they expand the Pool Program coverage across their growing fleet. We stand hand in hand with them as they further connect several regions of India,” commented Johann Bordais, President & Chief Executive, Embraer Services & Support.
“As Star Air spreads its wings across the country, the Pool Program will enable us to leverage on the reliability and performance of the E175s and the expertise of Embraer’s support and services team,” says Simran Singh Tiwana, Chief Executive, Star Air.
Embraer claims that Star Air’s operations will benefit from Embraer’s AHEAD (Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis) Premium which comprises early detection capabilities by monitoring systems trends and patterns, to increase aircraft availability, minimizing unexpected maintenance downtime, reducing technical interruptions, and avoiding flight cancellations. This is aimed at enhancing the dispatchability of Star Air’s E175 fleet.
