Aircraft engineering and MRO services provider HAECO has marked a significant milestone with the delivery of its 100th overhauled E190 landing gear, serviced at its specialised facility in Xiamen.
The achievement highlights the successful collaboration between HAECO Landing Gear Services and the OEM Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS (Liebherr-Aerospace).
HAECO and Liebherr-Aerospace have worked together since 2017 to enhance landing gear maintenance services for Embraer E-Jet E1 operators in the Chinese Mainland.
In addition to this milestone, Liebherr-Aerospace has announced plans to support HAECO in expanding its landing gear overhaul services regarding the COMAC C909 by the end of 2024. This step will build on the existing Embraer E190 agreement, enabling HAECO and Liebherr to deliver top-tier landing gear solutions to operators of COMAC aircraft.
Sandra Nieuwenhuijzen, group director of component and engine services at HAECO Group, said: “Celebrating the 100th delivery of a maintained E190 landing gear at our state-of-the-art facility in Xiamen is a proud moment for HAECO.
“Our partnership with Liebherr-Aerospace has been instrumental in enhancing our service offerings and meeting the growing demands of our customers in the Chinese Mainland. We are eager to extend our expertise to the C909 as we adapt to the evolving market.”
Eric Thévenot, general manager developing customer services based at Liebherr in Shanghai, said: “We are pleased to have leveraged HAECO’s extensive in-house MRO expertise and state-of-the-art surface treatment capabilities, making high-value OEM engineering solutions available in China, that will include the COMAC C909. This collaboration has been instrumental in enhancing our services in China.
“By utilising OEM asset leasing solutions and inventory in Xiamen, we are able to meet on-time delivery requirements, while ensuring operational efficiency for our Chinese airline customers.”
