Embraer Executive Jets adds a new hub to service the AE 3007A in Sorocaba, Brazil. Bombardier Business Aircraft’s Wichita Service Centre (Kansas) has received certification to perform maintenance on BR710A2-20 engines. ExecuJet and Constant Aviation have renewed their ASC contracts for a further five years for the servicing of the AE 3007A. For ExecuJet this covers its Dubai hub; for Constant Aviation this covers Cleveland (Ohio) as a hub, and brings Birmingham (Alabama) and Las Vegas (Nevada) to the network as two new spokes.
