Embraer and Portugália Airlines Sign Component Pool Program Agreement for E-Jets Fleet
October 14, 2026
Lisboa, October 15, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) and Portugália Airlines, a TAP Group company, operating under the TAP Express brand have signed a Component Pool Program agreement to support the 19 E-Jets fleet operating regional routes. Embraer’s Pool Program will deliver comprehensive component support for twelve E-190 and seven E-195, helping optimize aircraft availability as the airline expands its operations. The Pool Program covers more than 300 aircraft components across multiple systems of the E-Jets and includes advanced exchange services, repair and overhaul solutions.
“Following a brief experience with an alternative supplier, after some decades being served by Embraer through its Component Pool Program that we helped to set up during the launch of the Embraer ERJ145, it felt right to return to this Program that always served our needs and helped us grow. More than the Program itself is the Embraer team behind it with whom we relate in a fantastic way. A big thank to Embraer for the flexibility and true partnership during this transition process accommodating all our requirements,” says Mário Lobato de Faria, Portugália Airlines Managing Director.
“We are proud to further strengthen our long-standing partnership with Portugália Airlines through this Component Pool Program agreement. Their continued confidence in our solutions is a testament to the value it delivers to operators worldwide. We look forward to support Portugália Airlines and its E-Jets fleet as it connects communities across its network,” says Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support.
Embraer’s Pool Program offers comprehensive component support to airlines worldwide, leveraging the company’s technical expertise and extensive services network. The program delivers significant savings and economies in component repair and inventory holding costs, reduces warehousing needs, and operates within a framework of guaranteed performance levels. Embraer Services & Support provides a wide range of customized solutions designed to enhance aftersales experience and support the growing global fleet of Embraer aircraft.
