Liebherr-Aerospace and Loong Air have signed a maintenance agreement for heat transfer equipment on the airline’s Airbus A320ceo/neo fleet.
The long-term arrangement covers major repair and re-coring services, with the re-coring work, including full matrix replacement, to be carried out at Liebherr’s site in Shanghai, Pudong. Under the cooperation, Loong Air will handle cleaning, minor repairs and test procedures, while Liebherr will provide technical expertise, technical publications, training and spare parts.
Liebherr said the agreement marks its first REACH-compliant recoring project in China. The company also said the deal is intended to support the reliability and availability of Loong Air’s aircraft through maintenance support for the heat transfer equipment.
The agreement adds to Liebherr-Aerospace’s service footprint in China and extends its support role on the A320 family through an OEM-led maintenance arrangement.
