Lufthansa Technik Landing Gear Services UK (LTLGS) has overhauled the 25th Landing Gear set of the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft type. This important milestone in overhaul operations of the latest Boeing 777 product introduction, reached at LTLGS facility in Hayes, near London, United Kingdom, makes LTLGS the most experienced overhaul provider of this Landing Gear type.
Landing gear overhauls become due every ten years on each aircraft in accordance with the maintenance program. As for the end of 2015, there will be 34 Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in operations which are ten years old or older and which are scheduled to receive a complete landing gear overhaul. 25 Landing Gear shipsets overhauled by LTLGS for leading European, Middle Eastern and Japanese operators, account approximately 70% of the total world-wide overhaul market share of this type of landing gear.
