ANTAVIA, an AMETEK MRO business and a global provider of MRO services for commercial and business aviation aircraft, has been awarded an Authorised Repair Centre (ARC) contract by Héroux-Devtek. The agreement covers the repair and overhaul of Embraer Legacy and Embraer Praetor landing gear equipment across Europe.
Laurent Bouissou, DVP Business Manager at ANTAVIA, stated: “ANTAVIA brings extensive experience supporting Héroux-Devtek-designed landing gear, underpinned by strong engineering resources and comprehensive in-house capabilities, including non-destructive testing, machining, surface treatment and painting. This combination enables ANTAVIA to meet the demanding turnaround times and quality standards expected by business jet operators.”
Marc-Olivier Gagnon, Vice President, Engineering & Product Support at Héroux-Devtek, added: “We are pleased to welcome ANTAVIA into Héroux-Devtek’s network of Authorised Repair Centres supporting the Embraer Praetor programme across Europe. ANTAVIA’s technical expertise, responsiveness and established quality processes position it well to support operators across the region.”
“This agreement expands ANTAVIA’s authorised landing gear repair capabilities and supports broader engagement within the business jet aviation market. It also reflects ongoing investment in tooling, engineering expertise and infrastructure at ANTAVIA’s facilities in Paris and Campsas (Toulouse),” Bouissou added.
As the aviation industry continues to manage supply chain pressures and rising production costs, OEMs are increasingly seeking trusted MRO partners to support products in service while avoiding disruption to production lines. Many are therefore focusing on core manufacturing competencies and outsourcing MRO activities to specialised providers dedicated to meeting operator demand.
