Liebherr signs landing gear overhaul agreement with Envoy Air

Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc., Michigan (USA) and Envoy Air Inc., based in Irving, Texas (USA) have reached a definitive agreement for landing gear overhaul and systems maintenance on Envoy Air´s Embraer 175-E1 fleet. Program overhauls will undergo complete “restoration” in accordance with Embraer’s requirements for continuing intervals of 30,000 flight cycles or 12 calendar years.

From the entry into service in 2004, the Embraer 170/175-E1 family aircraft have proven highly successful with 1,000 orders and current production backlog of 208 aircraft. Will Dew, Managing Director Commercial at Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc. commented: “We are very pleased to welcome Envoy Air into our Liebherr network landing gear overhaul full support portfolio. We look forward to supporting Envoy Air’s operations and contributing to the continued success of their E175 fleet.”

In preparation for the extensive E175 overhaul campaign in the Americas region, Liebherr-Aerospace has invested significant resources over the past three years to structurally transform its landing gear MRO activities. The company continues to implement lean processes to enhance repair chain efficiency, increase first pass yield, and strengthen supply chain resilience, all while maintaining the highest quality standards.

The complete landing gear system for the Embraer E1 generation of E-Jets was developed and is manufactured by Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH (Germany), Liebherr’s center of competence for flight control and landing gear systems.
