Another complete landing gear replacement performed by SriLankan Engineering

SriLankan Engineering, a pioneer MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) service provider for regional carriers, has just completed the replacement of all three landing gear assemblies of a yet another A330 Aircraft of the national carrier. This marks the eighth occasion the complete gear assemblies were changed on wide body aircraft which commenced with the first change in 2010.

SriLankan Airlines Head of Engineering Priyantha Rose said, “This further signifies the position of SriLankan Engineering as a Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul (MRO) facility of choice in the region, and we have been marketing our capabilities as a one stop solution provider for all airframe maintenance on A320, A330 & A340 aircraft, having been in possession of the necessary tools and highly-skilled and experienced technical crew.” The landing gears of an aircraft are removed every ten years for a full overhaul.
