Collins Aerospace, an RTX business, and Emirates, the world’s largest international airline by revenue passenger kilometres, have expanded their comprehensive long-term agreement for maintenance, repair, and overhaul services on the main landing gear of Emirates’ A380 fleet. The amended agreement introduces an enhanced support programme that increases overhaul service availability, ensuring smoother and more reliable A380 operations as the fleet continues to play a central role in the airline’s network.
As part of the extended partnership, Collins Aerospace will maintain its use of MRO facilities in the UAE and Miami to carry out scheduled overhaul work. The company will also provide specialised training for Emirates’ maintenance teams, enabling them to perform selected tasks on-site at the Emirates Engineering facility in Dubai. This blended support model is designed to strengthen in-house capability while preserving access to Collins’ global expertise.
Matt Maurer, Vice President and General Manager of Landing Systems at Collins Aerospace, said the extension reinforces the company’s commitment to value-added support. He explained that the enhanced MRO programme provides Emirates with greater autonomy and scheduling flexibility, helping the airline meet operational demands and further improve aircraft availability.
Collins Aerospace provides landing gear solutions for a safe and comfortable landing in the most demanding conditions. With decades of experience leading the aviation industry, the company has developed an array of innovative landing gear products and offers exceptional customer service found on most of the leading commercial transports including the world’s largest airliner, the A380.
