AAR has been selected by China Airlines to provide maintenance, repair and overhaul services for its Boeing 737-800 landing gear. 

AAR (stand A720) will help its first Next Generation 737 landing-gear customer maximise the availability of its 737-800s and provide replacement landing gear from its inventory of rotable spares.

“We look forward to working with China Airlines,” says Rahul Shah, Asia Pacific Operations for AAR. “The Asia-Pacific region is one of the fastest-growing aviation markets and we look forward to expanding the services we offer our customers in this region.”

AAR Landing Gear Services, a joint venture between AAR and Malaysian maintenance provider Airod, recently received Malaysian department of civil aviation certification to start operations, and begin serving Asia-Pacific customers from the new Malaysian-based landing gear MRO facility.

AAR Landing Gear Services general manager, Pastor Lopéz says: “We are excited to be a part of China Airlines’ continuing cost-savings initiatives. We will provide the quality support that is critical in reducing aircraft downtime
