Safran Nacelles and Republic Airways have signed an agreement for the maintenance and spare parts support of thrust reversers on their more than 200 Embraer 170 / 175 aircraft.

Under this agreement, Safran’s experts at the Safran Nacelles Services Americas MRO station in Indianapolis, USA will provide maintenance and repair services to Republic Airways for the thrust reverser and aft core cowl. This includes newly developed repair capabilities on the transcowl, which were designed using our OEM knowledge to reduce maintenance costs and meet our customer’s evolving operational needs.
