Binter Canarias and Embraer have signed a contract to use the Beacon digital platform to help maintain the Canary Island’s-based carrier’s E195-E2 fleet.

“Through their trials, Binter has confirmed the benefits of real-time collaboration and insights facilitated by Beacon. We expect this will be the first of many successful leaps forward as Beacon clients keep flying,” said Marco Cesarino, head of Beacon.

Brazilian manufacturer Embraer said Binter would be the first European airline to deploy its Beacon platform.

“We began our Beacon platform trials with high expectations that it would improve aircraft availability and workforce allocation. Beacon has proven to be an important resource for our maintenance teams, and we are glad to move forward to a commercial contract,” said Javier Bretón, Binter’s director of operations.
