Embraer's office in Singapore was established in December 2000 to serve the Asia-Pacific region. In 2007, the Company opened a regional distribution center for round-the-clock Embraer spare part operations and to provide maintenance, repair, and inventory services to its commercial aircraft customers in the region.
That same year, a world-class training center for E-Jets was created and located at the Changi airport. The site includes a Level D flight simulator and is a center of excellence in computer-based training for customers in the region.
In 2010, all logistical and part support for Embraer's commercial aircraft in the region, as well as for executive jets, went on to be managed by the regional distribution center in Singapore. This initiative opened the path for the Company to become self-sufficient in the management and administration of all the logistical support and spare parts for the growing aircraft fleet and customer base in the area.
