All overhaul work will be carried out in-house at Liebherr-Aerospace’s facility in Lindenberg, Germany, drawing on the company’s expertise as both the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and a specialist provider of landing gear maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services.

Liebherr said the agreement comes as the aviation industry enters a new global wave of landing gear overhauls, with airlines increasingly focused on securing future maintenance capacity.

The deal strengthens the long-standing partnership between the two companies and reinforces Liebherr’s role in supporting Finnair’s A350 operations.

Liebherr-Aerospace Lindenberg GmbH developed, manufactured and certified the Airbus A350 nose landing gear system, and serves as the group’s centre of competence for flight controls, landing gear systems, gears, gearboxes and electronics.

The service operates on a book-and-claim model, a system that separates the physical fuel delivery from the associated environmental claim. This means a company’s purchased SAF is not necessarily loaded onto the specific flight their employees are on. Instead, it is used in the airline’s overall operations where SAF supply is available, ensuring the environmental benefit is realized within the aviation system.

The achieved reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is verified by a third party, with the company receiving an audited SAF certificate for use in its sustainability reporting.

“We believe that the most effective solutions can be found at the system level and require cooperation not only between decision-makers and energy producers, but also between airlines and customers,” said Tuomo Karppinen, Finnair’s Head of Environment. “With the Finnair for Business SAF service, we want to accelerate the adoption of alternative aviation fuel made from renewable raw materials.”
