AEM/AMETEK MRO signs new landing gear service agreement

AEM/AMETEK MRO (AEM) has signed a landing gear service agreement with Liebherr-Aerospace to provide MRO services for the Embraer E-Jet E1, specifically the E190 platform, to operators across the EMEA region. This agreement builds on the initial memorandum of understanding (MOU) that established their partnership in 2022.

With air traffic rebounding strongly post-pandemic, AEM is set to take on increased landing gear workload from Liebherr-Aerospace at its Ramsgate facility in the UK. As a reputable MRO provider, AEM is well-equipped to support the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in offering high-quality and efficient services, thereby enhancing the availability of overhaul slots for E-Jet E1 operators.

Mike Audus, Divisional VP & Business Unit Manager – Aerospace Europe at AMETEK MRO, stated, “This partnership fully endorses our relationship with Liebherr and showcases AEM’s capabilities as a leading landing gear maintenance provider.”

Andy Wheeler, Divisional Vice President and Managing Director of AEM, highlighted the expertise of its Ramsgate team, noting that their consistent delivery of quality MRO services meets the high standards expected by Liebherr’s customers. He remarked that the full contract underscores the confidence placed in AEM and enhances their broader landing systems capabilities.
