Narrative:
During climbout; the crew observed the 'hydraulic pump fail a' EICAS. This message was followed by the 'hydraulic volume low a' EICAS. The crew completed the abnormal procedures checklist for hydraulic pump fail a and hydraulic volume low a. No other hydraulic issues were observed and all other systems were functioning normally. An ATC request was made to divert to ZZZ due to a maintenance issue. Aircraft was re-cleared to ZZZ. Crew notified ATC of emergency. Upon arrival to ZZZ; the crew executed the emergency/abnormal checklist - landing with no hydraulic a system pressure. The landing gear was extended without complication via a nitrogen bottle as directed by the checklist. Crew performed a normal visual approach and landing at ZZZ. On rollout; the emergency brake system was used to come stop the aircraft on the runway. Met on the runway by airport operations and crash fire rescue. Aircraft was towed to parking for repairs without further incident where the passengers and crew deplaned. No damage or injuries occurred.
