Safran Landing Systems has signed an agreement with China Airlines covering the overhaul of main landing gear on the airline’s fleet of 18 Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
The agreement, signed at Safran Landing Systems’ Singapore facility during MRO Asia-Pacific, covers landing gear maintenance from 2026 through 2031. The work will be carried out at Safran’s MRO centre in Singapore.
The programme includes landing gear overhaul services and associated technical support for the A350-900 fleet. The work is intended to support landing gear availability and continued serviceability throughout the agreement period.
China Airlines already uses Safran Landing Systems for landing gear maintenance on its Airbus A330 fleet. Other CAL Group airlines, including Tigerair Taiwan and Mandarin Airlines, also have landing gear support agreements with Safran.

“We are proud to strengthen our relationship with China Airlines through this new Airbus A350-900 landing gear overhaul agreement. This contract reflects the confidence China Airlines places in our teams, our technical expertise and our ability to support critical fleet operations over the long term. As airlines increasingly seek not only repair capabilities but also direct access to OEM expertise, we look forward to supporting China Airlines throughout this next chapter of its Airbus 350 journey,” said Olivier Thomas, EVP Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul at Safran Landing Systems.
The agreement adds A350 landing gear work to Safran Landing Systems’ existing support for China Airlines and further expands the Singapore facility’s role in landing gear MRO for Asia-Pacific operators.
