USA: Empire Airlines Inc, dba Empire Aerospace Adds Embraer ERJ 145 All Series To Ops Specs

On December 18, 2015 Empire Aerospace a subsidiary of Empire Airlines received amended Operating Specifications , adding the ERJ 145 to its maintenance capabilities.

Empire Aerospace has performed heavy maintenance on large turbo-prop aircraft for the past 10 years. We are known for our ATR experience throughout North America, providing service to U.S. and Canadian based operators.

With the lack of growth of turbo-prop operations in North America, Empire realizedan additional market opportunity in collaborating with operators of regional jet aircraft.

Using industry outlooks and trend analysis, and through discussions with operators at the Regional Airline Association conventions in St. Louis in 2014 and Cleveland in 2015, the decision was made to add the Embraer ERJ 145 to our Operating Specifications. Working with our customers and the Federal Aviation Administration, Empire Aerospace added the ERJ 145 to our capabilities.

This is an exciting new chapter in the history of Empire Aerospace as one of the leading aviation companies in the Idaho Panhandle. With the addition of the ERJ 145, Empire Aerospace continues to meet regional airline needs by providing premier customer service through dedication to quality, and expanding its capabilities at a fair price.

Empire Airlines is an Idaho based company with over 350 employees providing air cargo services for FedEx in 15 states and inter-island passenger airline services for Hawaiian Airlines in Hawaii. Empire operates two other divisions: Empire Aerospace providing heavy maintenance and modifications to the industry and Empire Unmanned which provides unmanned aerial surveillance and analysis for agriculture and related industries.
