Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer and Jazz Aviation have signed a spare parts inventory support agreement covering the airline’s E-Jets fleet.
Jazz, Canada’s largest regional airline and the main 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) program.
The data-driven program is designed to support inventory planning and materials availability, with Embraer covering the majority of the spare parts investment and managing materials to help reduce airline downtime.
Carlos Naufel, President and CEO of Embraer Services & Support, said: “The new contract shows the rapid pace at which Embraer Services & Support is growing in North America, home to the largest E-Jets footprint in the world. We look forward to supporting Jazz, our first customer in Canada, and helping them reduce downtime and strengthen their performance.”
Doug Clarke, president of the Jazz, said: “This agreement with Embraer represents another important step to strengthen the reliability and efficiency of our E-Jets operations in North America.
“By participating in the ECIP program, we are leveraging Embraer’s global materials expertise to reduce downtime and support consistent, high-quality service for our Air Canada Express passengers.”
ECIP offers customers fixed annual prices for each part, predefined delivery times and guaranteed performance levels from Embraer Services & Support.
The program also uses weekly order recommendations based on customer usage and stock level data, supported by Embraer’s planning expertise, materials management capabilities and global logistics network.
The agreement was announced during the MRO Americas 2026 event in Orlando.
