en.Wedoany.com Reported - Liebherr-Aerospace Saline and Horizon Air have reached an agreement for the former to provide overhaul services for the landing gear systems of the latter's Embraer 175-E1 fleet. This maintenance work is expected to commence in 2027.

According to the agreement, the landing gear will undergo comprehensive restoration in accordance with the Embraer Maintenance Review Board requirements, a mandatory procedure required every 30,000 flight cycles or 12 years. Liebherr stated that Horizon Air's planning for removal two years in advance helps ensure a smooth process for scheduling overhauls and managing assets.

Will Du, Commercial Managing Director of Liebherr-Aerospace Saline, said: "We welcome Horizon Air to our landing gear overhaul support network. Advance planning ensures the timeliness and systematic nature of the repair process." He also mentioned that to address the widespread overhaul demand for the E175 in the Americas, Liebherr has invested resources over the past three years to optimize its maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) system.

Will Du added: "We will continue to refine lean processes to enhance the efficiency of the repair chain, first-pass yield, and supply chain resilience, while maintaining high standards of quality control." The landing gear system for Embraer's first-generation E-Jet E1 was developed and manufactured by Liebherr's German Lindenberg facility, which specializes in flight control and landing gear technology.

Since its entry into service in 2004, the Embraer 170/175-E1 family has accumulated orders for 1,000 aircraft, with 208 still pending delivery. Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS, headquartered in Toulouse, France, is a division of the Liebherr Group, providing onboard solutions for the aerospace sector. Horizon Air, a subsidiary of the Alaska Air Group, specializes in operating the E175 fleet to serve routes in North America.
