MACON, Ga., Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Embraer (B3: EMBR3, NYSE: ERJ) today announced that Embraer Aircraft Maintenance Services (EAMS) in Macon, Georgia, has signed two heavy maintenance services agreements totaling $ 72 million. The contracts have been signed with Envoy Air Inc. and JSX and will provide each company with airframe maintenance and repair services offered by Embraer’s portfolio of solutions.
