Liebherr-Aerospace has signed a long-term maintenance agreement with Loong Air covering heat transfer equipment on the airline’s Airbus A320ceo and A320neo fleet. The work includes major repair and re-coring, with full matrix replacement carried out at Liebherr’s Shanghai, Pudong service center.
The agreement marks Liebherr’s first REACH-compliant recoring project in China and extends the company’s MRO footprint in a market where it has been expanding its aircraft heat transfer equipment capabilities. Liebherr has said the Shanghai site now supports certified testing and re-coring activities for Chinese customers.
For Loong Air, the deal adds a dedicated support line for a fleet centered on A320-family aircraft, including the neo variant. It also reinforces Liebherr’s broader strategy of building regional MRO partnerships around Airbus single-aisle operators.
