Landing Gear Overhaul Services

Sanad , a wholly owned subsidiary of the Mubadala Investment Company based in Abu Dhabi, provides specialised landing gear Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services. The programme covers the complete lifecycle of the assembly, including total teardown, non-destructive testing, machining, and surface treatments. The service is built upon the United Arab Emirates' strategic infrastructure to support the heavy maintenance requirements of both narrow-body and wide-body commercial aircraft types. The service is primarily marketed to commercial airlines and government-operated fleets requiring major interval inspections and structural restoration. Notable regional partnerships include work for Etihad Airways and broader support for international operators within the Middle East and North Africa. Contracts are typically structured as long-term service agreements or scheduled shop visits, often timed to coincide with broader airframe maintenance cycles to manage operational availability. The Aerospace Garage desk recommends that potential buyers confirm the specific aircraft models currently supported, as capability depends on active tooling and OEM sub-licensing. Verification of current lead times is necessary, as the availability of replacement high-pressure seals and specialised alloys remains sensitive to global supply chain fluctuations. Procurement teams should request current certification logs from the General Civil Aviation Authority alongside relevant international approvals.
