Hong Kong, March 31 -- Embraer has signed a multi-year flight hour pool program to support the component requirements of the Central Asian airline's new Embraer E2 jet fleet. The airline took delivery of its first E190 in 2011, when the carrier joined the Embraer pool program, and now has nine of the jet type in its fleet.

The airline took delivery of its first E190-E2 last December and will receive five more of the aircraft, all leased from AerCap by year-end.

The E2 Jet pool agreement will cover unlimited access and full repair availability of more than 325 components, Embraer said, with more than a third of the parts located at the airline's main base to ensure on demand availability.
