CHARLOTTE, N.C., July 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Farnborough
International 2006 -- ExpressJet Airlines, Inc. has extended its asset
management agreement for aftermarket services with Goodrich Corporation
(NYSE: GR) in support of the airline's Embraer ERJ 135/145 fleet. The
additions will provide exchange pools of sensing products and related
systems, as well as maintenance services, to ensure immediate availability
at a fee, based on the airline's annual flight hours.
"This asset management agreement is consistent with our aftermarket
strategic business expansion. The arrangement provides benefits to both
ExpressJet and Goodrich," stated Jan Mathiesen, Vice President, Goodrich
Sensor Systems. "For ExpressJet, it reduces AOG situations, keeps their
fleet dispatched and operational, and provides predictable maintenance
costs. It simplifies our interface, making it easier for us to do business
with each other," Mathiesen added.
ExpressJet operates one of the world's largest Embraer aircraft fleets.
Goodrich is the original equipment manufacturer, and the company's Customer
Services division is the aftermarket service provider, on ExpressJet
fleet's: thrust reverser actuators; wheels and brakes; power generators;
air data and temperature sensors; electronic and hydro-mechanical engine
controls; and the fuel nozzles.
Paul Snyder, President, Goodrich Customer Services added, "ExpressJet
recognized early on that it needed to find strategic partnerships to focus
on exceptional product reliability, improved turn times and predictable and
competitive operating costs. They are astute in the art of asset management
and here at our Monroe, North Carolina Customer Services facility we're
proud to have been part of that successful equation for the past six years
and look forward to continuing to contribute to their success."
