HAECO and Cathay are strengthening their long-standing partnership on Boeing 777 landing gear support services, building on a collaboration that has supported the airline's fleet operations for more than a decade. 

HAECO and Cathay's relationship dates back to 1950. The landing gear partnership began in 2010, when HAECO Landing Gear Services in Xiamen completed its first Boeing 747 landing gear overhaul for the airline. Since then, the scope of support has grown to cover the Boeing 747-400, 747-400ERF, 777-300ER and 777-300 fleets, with more than 200 landing gear deliveries completed to date. 

As part of the continued partnership, HAECO Landing Gear Services will provide exchange and overhaul support for Cathay's Boeing 777-300ER fleet to support the reliability and performance of one of the airline's most important long-haul fleets.

“Cathay has been a valued partner of HAECO for many years. This landing gear overhaul programme reflects the confidence built through consistent performance and close collaboration, as well as our shared commitment to safety and operational excellence. We look forward to supporting the reliability and performance of Cathay's Boeing 777 fleet in the years ahead," said Gerald Steinhoff, Chief Commercial Officer at HAECO Group.

“Cathay and HAECO have built a trusted partnership over the years and we are pleased to continue this long-standing collaboration on our Boeing 777 landing gear programme. Beyond the core services, we value the broader support and customer care that come with HAECO Landing Gear Services being part of the HAECO Group. This agreement provides important overhaul and exchange support while maintaining the high standards of safety, quality and operational performance that our operation depends on. We look forward to further strengthening our partnership in the years ahead”, said Mr. Keith Brown, Director Engineering at Cathay.

HAECO Group provides a comprehensive range of airframe, engine and component services, offering customers integrated, nose-to-tail solutions across the aircraft lifecycle. Its landing gear support model reflects this one-stop approach: HAECO’s base maintenance facilities in Hong Kong or Xiamen manages landing gear replacement, while HAECO Landing Gear Services performs the overhaul work. By coordinating these capabilities across the Group, HAECO provides seamless support that helps customers reduce logistical costs, streamline maintenance workflows and improve spare gear rotation efficiency.
