Operations and sales are expected to commence in 1Q 2022.

In addition to Embraer, Avian has physically embedded Sales Channel Partners into its operation to act as the customer-facing entities. DASI, UNICAL Aviation, and Regional Airline Support Group have been named from a wide range of interested parties as each brought extensive market reach, years of product experience, and most importantly a demonstrated desire to support Embraer customers.

“With this long-term agreement with Avian we will be able to increase our reach and accessibility in parts distribution, at the same time allowing us to increase performance and efficiency with a focus on customer needs,” said Johann Bordais, President and CEO of Embraer Services and Support.

End-users will have access to all Avian’s inventory through the regular Embraer sales channels in addition to each of the three selected Sales Channel Partners. Operators will continue to be able to check parts availability through Embraer’s channels for ordering spare parts.

Ian Gurekian, CEO of Avian Inventory Management, said, “This partnership is an example of Embraer’s ability to adjust its long-term strategy while keeping complete focus on its customers. Avian was able to work together with Embraer to design a solution that meets both their financial and operational goals while creating a platform that keeps Embraer close to and integrated with its customer base.”
