Fokker and Embraer officials at MRO Asia-Pacific in Singapore.
SINGAPORE—Singapore-based Fokker Services Asia has been named an Embraer authorized service center, certified to provide MRO services for the company’s first-generation regional airliners, with a focus on the prior-generation Embraer 190.
The two companies signed a final contract here at MRO-Asia Pacific in Singapore, finalizing a memorandum of understanding agreed earlier this year at the Singapore Airshow.
The Sept. 26 announcement follows a similar agreement with between the Brazilian OEM and SIA Engineering-Philippines (SIAEP), which will see SIAEP become the first MRO provider in the Asia-Pacific region to service Embraer's new generation of small narrowbodies dubbed the E2—some of which are already in service with Scoot, Singapore Airlines' LCC subsidiary.
Fokker Services Asia attained certification from Australia’s civil aviation authority in August 2023 to service aircraft with Australian registration and has inducted one E190 from Brisbane-based Alliance Airlines.
The company has one hangar at Singapore’s Seletar Airport, which is within a 5-hr. radius of Embraer E1 commercial and government operators in Australia, Myanmar and Thailand.
Parent company Fokker Services Group also has one facility in the U.S. state of Georgia and three in the Netherlands—Hoofddorp, Schiphol and Woensdrecht—where it is headquartered.
