Boeing (BA) on Wednesday said it secured the largest landing gear exchange contract in its history, announcing an agreement with the Singapore Airlines Group covering more than 75 aircraft at the Singapore Airshow.
Under the contract, Boeing (BA) will provide landing gear exchanges for aircraft across the SIA Group’s 737 Max and 787 fleets. The program is designed to give the airline greater flexibility in overhaul scheduling, helping extend the useful life of landing gear components while reducing aircraft downtime.
“Our relationship with the SIA Group is built on delivering dependable solutions,” William Ampofo, senior vice president of parts and distribution and supply chain at Boeing Global Services, said in a statement. He added that the agreement combines Boeing’s (BA) global inventory and distribution capabilities with the airline’s maintenance planning to speed parts delivery and support reliable operations.
The landing gear exchange program allows airlines to access serviceable landing gear assemblies through a managed inventory and partner network, limiting the need to hold large stocks of spare gear on site. The approach is intended to shorten maintenance-related ground time and improve dispatch reliability, particularly for carriers operating dense flight schedules.
The deal adds to Boeing’s (BA) broader aftermarket portfolio, which includes parts distribution, repair management and logistics services aimed at improving fleet readiness and reducing maintenance disruptions for airline customers.
