AEM, an MRO provider and part of AMETEK MRO, has signed a partnership with Liebherr-Aerospace to provide landing gear services for Embraer E190 aircraft across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa

The agreement, signed at MRO Europe in Barcelona, expands on a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed in 2022 and reflects the growing demand for aircraft maintenance as air travel recovers from the pandemic.

“Together with AEM, we can optimise the fleet operations of E-Jet E1 customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa by generating increased availability and more flexibility when they plan and select overhaul slots,” said Christian Franz, Director Customer Service Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg (Germany).

AEM’s facility in Ramsgate, UK, will handle the increased workload for Liebherr-Aerospace, ensuring landing gear maintenance for E190 operators.

“This partnership fully endorses our relationship with Liebherr and showcases AEM’s capabilities as a leading landing gear maintenance provider,” said Mike Audus, Divisional VP & Business Unit Manager – Aerospace Europe, for AMETEK MRO.
