Lufthansa Technik launches E-Jet landing gear services in the US

Hawker Pacific Aerospace, a Lufthansa Technik landing gear service location in California, USA, has built up landing gear overhaul capability for the Embraer E-Jet family of aircraft to cover the North and South American E170/175 and E190/195 customers. Such capability will also be established at Lufthansa Technik’s landing gear workshop in Hamburg over the next few years in preparation for the E-Jet fleets in Europe. Hawker Pacific Aerospace is one of the first repair facilities to reach an agreement with Liebherr-Aerospace, the supplier of the landing gear systems for the Embraer E-Jet family, for full support and access to all E-Jet landing gear documentation, revision services, and technical engineering services. The strong and unique working relationship between Hawker Pacific Aerospace and Liebherr-Aerospace firmly supports the commencement of E-Jet landing gear overhauls, which began early 2013. The capability build up at Hawker Pacific Aerospace was completed at the end of 2012 with an investment in a complete Embraer 190 spare shipset, original tooling, a nose landing gear test stand, and other dedicated equipment. Within the next few months, utilizing its own stock of E-Jet rotables, Hawker Pacific Aerospace will begin full landing gear exchange and overhaul services for all E-Jet operators in North and South America.
