Air Peace Signs Services Agreement for E195-E2 and ERJ 145 Aircraft

(24 Feb 2022)  Air Peace, Nigeria and West Africa’s largest airline, has signed a comprehensive long-term services agreement with Embraer that covers the airline’s E195-E2 and ERJ 145 fleets.

The contract gives the carrier access to the Pool Program, which includes component exchanges and repair services for hundreds of reparable items for Air Peace’s Embraer aircraft, and the installation of the Ahead-Pro (Aircraft Health Analysis and Diagnosis – PROgnosis) in the airline’s E195-E2 fleet.

“This service agreement with Embraer is important to Air Peace’s operational success, offering us immediate access to an inventory of parts, that is efficiently managed and reduces our capex [capital expenditure] requirement for initial provision of spare parts,” said Oluwatoyin Olajide, Chief Operating Officer, Air Peace. “In addition, with Ahead-Pro we will be able to anticipate any potential maintenance issues and optimize the aircraft use, enhancing our fleet schedule reliability.”

Air Peace is the launch customer in Africa for the E2s and the global launch customer for Embraer’s innovative premium staggered seating design.

The airline has 13 firm orders for the E195-E2s, with 17 remaining purchase rights for the same model, also operating eight ERJ 145s. Five of the 13 firm orders were delivered in 2021, with more to be delivered this year.

“To have both E195-E2 and ERJ 145 jets covered by our Pool Program shows Air Peace’s trust in Embraer’s products and services. As the first E2 operator in Africa, our main goal is to support Air Peace’s smooth aircraft operation and maintain the readiness of the ERJs,” said Danielle Vardaro, Head of Worldwide Customer Support and Aftermarket Sales, Embraer Services & Support.
