Liebherr-Aerospace and KLM Cityhopper have signed an agreement covering the overhaul of the main and nose landing gear systems on the airline’s Embraer E175-E1 fleet.
The overhaul programme is scheduled to begin in November 2027, with all work to be carried out in-house at Liebherr-Aerospace’s facility in Lindenberg, Germany.
Thom Grobben, VP Technical Services and Fleet Development at KLM Cityhopper said: “This agreement strengthens our long-term partnership established through the E190 landing gear overhaul programme. We value Liebherr’s expertise and look forward to their continued support in delivering this critical service for our maintenance operations.”
Liebherr-Aerospace brings experience as both the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the landing gear systems and a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) specialist.
The company developed and manufactures the complete landing gear systems, including brakes, for the Embraer E-Jet family, comprising the E170, E175, E190 and E195.
