Embraer has signed a Collaborative Inventory Planning (ECIP) agreement with Jazz Aviation for its fleet of 25 E175 jets operated under the Air Canada Express brand. The deal, announced at MRO Americas in Orlando on April 22, 2026, makes Jazz the first Canadian airline to join the program.
Under ECIP, Embraer manages parts planning and covers most inventory investment, using operational data to optimize supply. This reduces aircraft-on-ground events and boosts fleet efficiency for Jazz’s regional operations.
Jazz, a key Air Canada Express operator, flies these E-Jets across Canada. The agreement supports all E-Jets in its fleet, targeting lower maintenance costs and higher reliability.
For Embraer, the pact expands its North American services footprint and recurring revenue from aftermarket support. ECIP aligns inventory precisely with usage patterns, minimizing excess stock for operators while ensuring parts availability.
The program leverages real-time data to predict needs, a critical edge in competitive regional aviation markets.
