Embraer has appointed Fokker Services Group as an authorised service centre for the Royal Netherlands Air Force’s C-390 Millennium fleet. The agreement covers maintenance and support for the aircraft acquired by the Netherlands, including assistance with their induction into operational service. Fokker Services Group will provide on-site technical and operational support through field service representatives; the announcement did not identify the support location or disclose the contract’s value or duration.
The support arrangement is intended to help the Dutch fleet enter service and maintain aircraft availability and mission readiness. The announcement did not specify how many aircraft are covered.
The appointment gives the Netherlands a local support provider for the C-390 and adds to Embraer’s service relationship with the Royal Netherlands Air Force. Details of the maintenance scope beyond the induction support, and any longer-term servicing arrangements, were not disclosed.
