Agreement Establishes Embraer Legacy Landing Gear Overhaul Support

CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 1, 2015 – Constant Aviation, a Directional Capital company offering full-service maintenance, repair, and overhaul with a nationwide network announced they have concluded a general terms agreement with Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc. for support of the landing gear installed on the Embraer Legacy 600/650/Shuttle Executive Jet family of aircraft.

Under the terms of the new agreement, Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc. (Saline, Michigan) will provide complete landing gear overhaul restoration services in support of Constant Aviation’s customers. With over 250 Legacy aircraft operating world-wide, significant activity is scheduled to quickly evolve on this platform as the installed landing gear reach the Maintenance Review Board interval for mandatory overhaul. Constant will have dedicated access to Liebherr’s Legacy Asset Pool, which is provisioned with assets to satisfy the various landing gear configurations particular to this fleet. In addition, Liebherr will position consignment stock at Constant Aviation. This will allow maximum flexibility in satisfying loan asset requirements whilst the customer’s landing gear are processed through overhaul intervention at Liebherr.

It is a pleasure to collaborate with Constant, whom we have supported closely over the past several years, and secure a fully structured integration option for the landing gear restoration within the airframe inspection process, thus simplifying the customer experience” stated Will Dew, VP Customer Support & Commercial, Liebherr Aerospace Saline, Inc..

“Constant Aviation has been involved with the Embraer Legacy product line since 1996. We have always looked at partnerships within the industry to better serve our Legacy customers. Our gear sets combined with Liebherr’s assets will make for a great addition to our current Legacy services and capabilities. This relationship with Liebherr will allow a seamless experience to our in-house Legacy customers when landing gear overhauls are needed,” said Jay Rizzo, VP Sales and Business Development at Constant Aviation.
