Japan Airlines and Embraer have extended a contract covering maintenance and spare parts for 32 Embraer E170 and E190 aircraft by several years.

The pool programme has the Brazilian manufacturer supplying spare parts and handling repairs for a large number of components. A parts stock near flight operations is meant to speed supply and cut outages.

Embraer says the E-Jet fleet averaged 99.8 percent technical dispatch reliability over the past six months.

J-Air, the regional subsidiary, has flown the aircraft on routes within Japan since 2008.
