Greenwich AeroGroup subsidiary Western Aircraft has been named an authorized service center by Embraer Executive Jets. The Idaho-based company will now provide full support for the Phenom 100 and 300 light jets and midsize Legacy 450 and 500, while offering line maintenance for the large-cabin Legacy 600 and 650.
The company is currently in the process of acquiring tooling and training for its maintenance staff and is expected to begin receiving Embraer customers by the end of September.
“We are pleased to be a part of the Embraer-authorized service facility network,” said Austin Shontz, Western’s vice president and general manager. “Embraer seeks to provide its customers with an optimal level of support and we are delighted to now be among the choices for Embraer customers.” Operating in Boise for more than six decades, the MRO provider is also a factory authorized service center for Cessna, Dassault Falcon, Beechcraft, Pilatus, and Piper.
