Safe stands for Regional Jets
SAS builds safe, efficient maintenance stands for regional jets as well as those for large commercial aircraft. Here’s an example of a multipurpose stand built for PSA Airlines being used to access the windshield and front cabin, as well as the engine and tail areas. We provide stands for Embraer E175 and 190 and Bombardier CRJ 700 aircraft, the most popular planes in use for regional routes that may encompass up to 45,000 domestic flights each month.
Because they offer cost-savings, access to smaller markets, and efficiently feed the hub networks, regional jets remain a key component of the industry and are expected grow significantly over the next 10 years. Embraer projects adding up to 5,500 new planes worth $350 billion over that period. (Regional jets are usually defined as those with 100 or fewer seats although that number may be inching up as airlines look for a greater balance of size/economy.)
At SAS, we are proud to be working with PSA and look to extend our presence in the regional jet market, knowing all those aircraft need quality, consistent maintenance and the equipment to accomplish that job.
