Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH and HOP! Air France entered into an agreement covering the overhaul of the landing gear systems on board the airlines’ Embraer E170 and E190 aircraft. The contract was signed at Paris Air Show on June 17, 2015.

French carrier HOP!-REGIONAL, which is based in Nantes and part of HOP!, an Air France subsidiary, decided to renew its confidence in Liebherr-Aerospace for the overhaul of Embraer landing gear systems. Following a program signed in 2007 for 37 EMB135/145 aircraft, the companies now concluded an overhaul agreement for the airline’s fleet of 26 Embraer E170 and E190.

Liebherr-Aerospace will carry out all overhaul activities at its facility in Lindenberg (Germany). Arndt Schoenemann, Managing Director Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH said: “With this contract, HOP! Air France and Liebherr-Aerospace are continuing and strengthening their collaboration. Moreover, this new contract confirms our leading position in E-Jet landing gear overhauls in Europe.”

The complete landing gear systems for the E-Jet family E170, E175, E190 and E195, which include the brake systems, were developed and manufactured by the OEM Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH, Liebherr’s center of excellence for flight control and landing gear systems.
