São Paulo – The Brazilian aircraft manufacturing company Embraer is going to meet with its Middle Eastern business jet clients on October 9th and 10th. The Embraer Executive Operators Conference (EEOC) will be held in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, for operators of the jets Lineage 1000, Legacy 600 e Legacy 650. At the event, the company will introduce to its clients the latest updates in maintenance, flight operation, and technologies for these models.
According to a statement from Embraer, operators will also be invited to give suggestions regarding the aircraft models. The conference will include workshops and panels on the aircraft, their software, maintenance plans, and technologies.
According to the Customer and Services Support director for Europe, Middle East and Africa at Embraer Executive Aviation, Pedro Paiva, the conference is a “key tool” for the company to receive client feedback. “It is one of the most important opportunities for customers, operators, service centers and Embraer teams to exchange information and gather ideas for better operations,” he said, according to the Embraer statement.
The Customer Support and Services manager for Asia Pacific at Embraer Executive Aviation, André Luis Vieira de Sousa, said the meeting, the second of its type in the region, helps improve aircraft operation and underscores the company’s commitment to its clients.
