Constant Aviation Becomes An Embraer Phenom 100 and 300 Authorized Service Center

CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Constant Aviation, LLC, a maintenance, repair, and overhaul facility, has been selected by Embraer to become an Authorized Service Center at their Cleveland (CLE) Facility on the Phenom 100 and 300 airframes.

“As Embraer has continued to launch a series of successful airframes, we are happy to strengthen our partnership and look forward to offering services for their entire portfolio”

Constant Aviation will be able to provide complete maintenance and avionics services as well as modifications, composite repairs, Airworthiness Directives and Service Bulletins on both types of aircraft. The organization will also use their previous experience working with Embraer on warranty claims to provide seamless service to the Phenom customers.

“We began our relationship with Embraer in 1996 as an ERJ-135 service center. In 2002, we became a Legacy 600/650 service center and developed a worldwide reputation for our Legacy expertise. We are excited to offer Phenom operators that same level of knowledge and experience. We currently perform about 70% of all available Legacy 600/650 scheduled maintenance services annually and look forward to providing world-class service to the Phenom customers,” said Stephen Maiden, President Constant Aviation.

Constant is in the final stages of its GoGo Biz^™ WiFi system STC on the Phenom 300, which will be a great product addition for in-flight amenities for Phenom customers. Gogo Biz^™ is an affordable solution in business aviation that provides a true high speed Internet experience that equals what passengers are accustomed to on the ground. It is up to 56 times faster than a traditional dial-up connection, yet it is small and light enough to fit on virtually any business aircraft.

“As Embraer has continued to launch a series of successful airframes, we are happy to strengthen our partnership and look forward to offering services for their entire portfolio,” said Maiden.
