Significant stakeholders within the landing gear repair and overhaul market are also focusing on advanced repair techniques, lightweight materials, and predictive maintenance technologies to increase operational maintenance efficiencies and reduce the time on the ground. The aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market is segmented by aircraft type (narrow body, wide body, regional, military), service type (inspection, component repair, overhaul), and by region. North America remains the leader in the market because they have an established MRO environment, whereas Asia-Pacific has become an advanced growth market with extensive aviation sectors. Furthermore, the industry will be impacted by advanced technologies and OEM engagement with MRO providers.

For instance, in February 2025, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited (HAECO) signed a new agreement with Emirates Airline, a subsidiary of The Emirates Group, to provide specialized landing gear overhaul services for the airline’s Boeing 777 fleet. This marks HAECO’s first entry into landing gear support for Emirates, with the initial induction scheduled for 2025.

Market Expansion Driven by Aircraft Landing Gear Repair and Overhaul Innovations

The aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul (R&O) market is experiencing rapid growth due to technological innovations, coupled with increased air traffic. Improved non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies, such as ultrasonic scanning, are improving defect detection accuracy; additive manufacturing (AM) enables improved cost and faster delivery of parts; IoT-enabled smart landing systems permit predictive maintenance, thereby reducing load (aircraft downtime) costs; and automation for increased repair precision, concerning overall efficiencies in MRO operations. Overall, these innovations combined with continued growth from aging and often becoming scrapped fleets, as well as deliveries of new aircraft, are expanding the market. Furthermore, serious aviation safety regulations and airlines' continued focus on optimizing costs further drive usage of innovative R&O solutions in regards ongoing safety management system reviews throughout commercial and military aviation sectors globally.

For instance, in May 2025, AMETEK MRO Antavia, part of AMETEK, Inc., renewed its global landing gear maintenance agreement with De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited for the CL215, CL215T, and CL415 firefighting aircraft. This renewal enhances the firm's ongoing partnership with De Havilland over the last 20 years and supports over 2,500 landing components back into service on four continents.

Strategic Industry Collaborations Fuel Market Expansion

Strategic collaborations between OEMs, MROs, and technology firms are driving increased expansion within the landing gear repair market. These alliances connect technological capabilities with digital solutions such as predictive maintenance and AI-supported diagnostics. Collaboration creates efficiency and maximizes availability through enhanced repair process performance. Joint Ventures also allow firms to extend global service networks, particularly in rapidly developing regions, such as Asia and the Middle East. Working collaboratively allows each party to utilize shared money, knowledge, and local experience to improve repair quality and meet stringent safety regulations. Collaborations, including mergers and acquisitions, create opportunities for innovative lightweight materials and enhanced sustainable maintenance solutions. Airlines are focused on cost-effective MRO solutions, and as these relationships evolve, they are essential for market expansion, permitting value chain members to meet challenges across supply chains while taking advantage of fleet modernization trends.

For instance, in March 2025, Liebherr-Aerospace Saline executed a definitive agreement with SkyWest Airlines, Inc. for the landing gear overhaul and systems maintenance activities on SkyWest's Embraer 175-E1 portion of its fleet. The program starts in 2025 and includes full gear restoration every 30,000 flight hours or 12 years, according to Embraer S.A. specifications.

Widebody Airliners Emerges as Key Growth Engine for Aircraft Landing Gear Repair & Overhaul

The increase in widebody freighter activity continues to boost demand for landing gear MRO activity. Cargo operators are converting passenger widebodies and acquiring new production freighters, both of which operate the landing gear under immense stress associated with heavy payload utilization and frequent turnaround cycles. These operational demands result in more frequent overhauls and precision repair capabilities, especially with high-load capable large complex products, for example, main landing gear assemblages. The freighter segment is also expanding, creating new aftermarket opportunities for MRO providers and considerable demand for customized heavy maintenance plans for cargo operators operating under different strategies. Demand from e-commerce, as well as economic and global trade conditions, continues to grow air cargo. In summary, widebody freighters represent another important driver behind the growth of landing gear MRO.

For instance, in December 2024, GA Telesis LLC, a global aviation services provider, signed a multi-year contract with Commute Air, a United Express carrier, for the repair and overhaul of Embraer ERJ145 landing gear systems. The agreement ensures reliable MRO support, leveraging GA Telesis’ advanced facilities and expertise to enhance fleet readiness and minimize downtime.

North America Dominates the Global Aircraft Landing Gear Repair and Overhaul Market Size

The global aircraft landing gear repair and overhaul market is led by North America, which represents the largest revenue share attributable to the high volume of major airlines, MRO providers and OEMs in the region. Each of these elements provides a critical mass of the aviation ecosystem. The United States has the largest commercial fleet in the world, hosts major players and has a stable regulatory framework instilled by the FAA that requires a high standard of maintenance to be conducted at each interval. Given the predominance of regional, low-cost, and charter operations in North America, the demand for R&O services has created opportunities for more innovative advanced R&O services, including predictive maintenance capabilities and smart landing gear systems. Despite being a small segment of MRO services, North America is a leader fundamentally driven by the stable infrastructure and technology advantages it has over other regions and segments. North America has a greater amount of MRO facilities relative to the number of tools and equipment that will be under repair, including added operations planned as widebody air cargo increases and charter support grows.

For instance, in October 2024, AEM, a division of AMETEK, Inc., signed a landing gear maintenance agreement with Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH for Embraer E190 aircraft across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. The deal, formalized at MRO Europe 2024, builds on a 2022 memorandum and supported by AEM’s facility in Ramsgate, UK. This partnership aims to increase overhaul slot availability and operational flexibility for E-Jet E1 operators in the region.

Impact of U.S. Tariffs on Global Aircraft Landing Gear Repair and Overhaul Market

• Increased Maintenance Costs: Tariffs on imported parts (especially, Chinese, EU, Japan parts) have resulted in raised prices for parts such as actuators, bushings, and titanium forgings.
• Increased Supply Chain Disruptions: Extended turnaround times and operational maintenance delays exist for customs delays and rerouting through non-tariffed countries.
• Contractual Pressures: Fixed-rate MRO contracts are being revised to include cost adjustment clauses or have been renegotiated and are affected by variable and rising costs.
• Inventory and Warehousing Changes: MRO providers are stockpiling parts with high-failure rates, to hedge against lead-time volatility to manage and account for the variance in lead-time. This may require more capital expenditure plans in the short run.
