Embraer's authorised service centre network is expanding in Europe with the transfer of RUAG Aviation's maintenance base from the Zurich Airport to two new locations: one in Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich, Germany, and the other in Geneva, Switzerland. The Swiss-based Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility will provide Legacy 600 line maintenance services for both scheduled and unscheduled inspections, while the German unit will also offer heavy maintenance, as well as aircraft painting and interior refurbishment.

"RUAG Aviation enjoys an excellent reputation for maintenance, worldwide, and we are pleased to reinforce our partnership with them to offer new locations for our Legacy 600 customers in Europe," said Antonio Martini Neto, Embraer Vice President, Customer Support and Services Europe, the Middle East and Africa - Executive Jets.

"Embraer Legacy operators will now benefit from the one-stop-shop strategy of our Oberpfaffenhofen facility. With this expanding network, RUAG is now able to offer comprehensive support - from periodic maintenance work to interior design and painting - at one location and during a single downtime," said Beat Höhener, Vice President, RUAG

Business Aviation. "Furthermore, with the new facility in Geneva, customers will have an additional line service center at one of Europe's most attractive and highly frequented business aviation airports."
