The Embraer ERJ 145 is a long-trusted workhorse in regional aviation, cycling through high-frequency, short-haul routes. With multiple takeoffs and landings each day, even a minor glitch in landing-system components can derail schedules and spike maintenance costs for operators. Flawless performance is absolutely critical. Aviation Technical Services GDL (ATS GDL) is the go-to specialist for ERJ 145 operators, delivering inspections, overhauls and repairs that keep landing-system components performing at peak efficiency. Operating out of Guadalajara, Mexico, a strategic hub for fast, low-friction logistics and cost-efficient operations across North and Latin America, ATS GDL ensures smooth, predictable turnarounds that keep airline operations on schedule. “Our loyalty within the ERJ 145 community comes from being a true expert and dedicated partner to this aircraft,” says Eric Gallegos Bautista, CEO. Backed by AFAC and FAA Part 145 certifications, with EASA approval underway, ATS GDL operates under rigorous international standards. This regulatory foundation is reinforced by workflow designs tailored to the ERJ 145’s high-frequency operating patterns, ensuring consistent quality and a reliable maintenance cadence across every component, from brakes and wheels to batteries. Building on this deep expertise, ATS GDL extends its capabilities to additional platforms, including the EMB-175, EMB-190, CRJ200 and Boeing 737 family, bringing the same standard of reliability to every aircraft it services. Unlocking Real-World Readiness Nearly a decade of supporting rotables for a twelve-aircraft ERJ 145 fleet gave ATS GDL firsthand experience in high-cycle regional operations, revealing wear patterns, operational pressure points and the tempo that defines short-haul aviation. These insights laid the foundation for a highly responsive service model, underpinned by a predictable supply of certified components ready for rapid deployment. Over the years, ATS GDL has further deepened this specialization. Its technicians have completed thousands of brake overhauls across major OEMs, including Goodrich/Honeywell, Meggitt and Safran. The hands-on experience revealed how ERJ-145 components respond to continuous heavy-cycle use—how carbon heat packs respond to thermal load, how wheels perform during rapid turnarounds and how batteries age under sustained utilization. These insights now drive maintenance strategies calibrated to real-world ERJ-145 operating patterns. “Deep platform-specific expertise allows us to understand every wear pattern and deliver impeccable brake reliability,” says Mr. Gallegos. Optimizing Operations Through Expert Maintenance Efficiency drives regional aviation, and ATS GDL has engineered processes to deliver it systematically. Maintaining a detailed database of ERJ-145 brake performance enables it to adjust inspection intervals and deploy components relevant to actual in-service performance. This ensures units are returned to operation at the optimal point in their service cycle, strengthening reliability across a fleet. Every overhaul adheres to applicable aviation directives, service bulletins, OEM requirements and established regulatory standards. Full traceability eliminates uncertainty when components move across jurisdictions. Its production model, purpose-built for the ERJ 145, supports streamlined operations. The workshop features aircraft-specific tooling, custom workstations and lean workflows that reduce handling time and support consistent turnaround. Where regulations permit, ATS GDL incorporates FAA-approved PMA components as safe and cost-effective substitutes for selected OEM parts.
