Liebherr and Finnair sign A350 nose landing gear overhaul agreement

Liebherr-Aerospace has been selected by Finnair to perform nose landing gear overhauls for the airline’s Airbus A350 fleet, under a newly signed service agreement. The deal covers the complete overhaul of the A350 nose landing gear systems installed on Finnair aircraft.

According to information released by the companies, the work will be carried out at Liebherr-Aerospace’s original equipment manufacturer facility in Lindenberg, Germany. The site is already responsible for A350 nose landing gear overhaul activities and supports operators worldwide.

The agreement secures long-term maintenance support for Finnair’s growing A350 fleet, which serves long-haul routes from its Helsinki hub. By assigning the work to the OEM, Finnair gains access to specialist repair capabilities, engineering support, and configuration management tailored to the A350 landing gear.

Liebherr-Aerospace supplies the nose landing gear for the Airbus A350 program and has progressively ramped up maintenance, repair and overhaul services as more aircraft reach scheduled heavy check intervals. The new contract with Finnair adds to the global customer base for the A350 nose landing gear MRO services provided from Lindenberg.
