October 21, 2026
Singapore, October 22, 2026 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ / B3: EMBJ3) and Alliance Airlines have renewed their Component Support Agreement, reinforcing the performance, reliability and availability of Australia’s largest E190 fleet. The agreement provides Alliance Airlines with a cost-effective repair solution that supports the Airline’s operational reliability while optimizing maintenance costs. Alliance Airlines has been operating E190s since 2021.
“Alliance Airlines’ E-Jets have been instrumental in enhancing Australia’s regional connectivity,” said Carlos Naufel, President and CEO, Embraer Services & Support. “As the airline grows, we remain committed to providing the maintenance solutions, expertise and support needed to keep the E190s performing at the highest levels every day.”
Australia is one of Embraer's most important markets in Asia Pacific. Since the delivery of its first aircraft in the country in 1978, Embraer has played a key role in supporting regional connectivity. Today, close to 70 E-Jets are operated by six Australian operators, serving regional routes and supporting the country's critical Fly in Fly Out (FIFO) operations for the mining and resources sector.
Backing this growing fleet is Embraer's comprehensive services and support network, which provides a broad range of maintenance solutions and technical expertise to help ensure the high reliability, availability, and performance of E-Jets throughout Australia.
