Landing Gear Technologies

What Landing Gear Technologies does

Landing Gear Technologies, LLC (LGT) is an independently owned landing gear overhaul and repair facility headquartered in a 128,000 sq ft state-of-the-art facility in Hialeah, Florida, minutes from Miami International and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International airports. Founded in 2009, the company provides specialized maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services for commercial, regional, and cargo aircraft, covering Boeing platforms (737, 737NG, 747, 757, 767, 777), BAE Jetstream, and Messier CRJ aircraft. Its named customers include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, and FedEx.

The company's core technical capability is the consolidation of the full landing gear overhaul workflow under one roof: disassembly, inspection, repair, machining, grinding, honing, bushing fabrication, plating (cadmium, chromium, sulfamate nickel, chromate conversion coating, inorganic stripping), shot peening, passivation, stress relief, and non-destructive testing (MPI, FPI, ultrasonic, eddy current). This vertical integration minimizes outsourced processes. The company holds FAA Part 145, EASA Part 145, BCAA, and UK CAA Part 145 certifications, enabling it to service aircraft registered across the US, Europe, Bermuda, and the UK, and offers 24/7 AOG (Aircraft on Ground) on-site emergency response supported by a large inventory of ready-to-ship overhauled and serviceable parts.

LGT operates a B2B enterprise field sales model, selling directly to airline fleet operators and other MRO providers through direct engagement rather than intermediaries. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based landing gear repair and overhaul contracts, supplemented by parts exchange and outright sales, and specialized processing services (plating, machining, NDT) sold to other MROs. Pricing is custom and quote-based per job, with multi-year contracting structures. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no parent company, and no public revenue or funding history.
