Liebherr to overhaul KLM Cityhopper’s Embraer 175-E1 landing gears
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 175-E1 aircraft fleet. The campaign is scheduled to begin in November 2027.
All overhaul work will be carried out in-house at Liebherr-Aerospace’s facility in Lindenberg. The company brings experience as both the landing gear systems’ original equipment manufacturer and a specialist in maintenance, repair and overhaul.
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 program. We value Liebherr’s expertise and look forward to their continued support in delivering this critical service for our maintenance operations.”
Christian Franz, Director Customer Service at Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH added: “We are very happy and grateful to perform the overhaul for KLM Cityhopper, which marks a significant step forward in our partnership and highlights the strong mutual trust between our companies.”
The complete landing gear systems for the Embraer E-Jet family E170, E175, E190 and E195, which include the brake systems, were developed and manufactured by Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH (Germany), Liebherr’s center of excellence for flight control and landing gear systems.
