As part of this cooperation, Loong Air will manage cleaning, minor repairs, and test procedures – ensuring the highest standards of quality and reliability for heat transfer equipment.

Expansion of MRO capacities of aircraft heat transfer equipment
Liebherr has recently expanded its maintenance, repair and overhaul capacities at its site in Shanghai, supporting the growing demand for advanced maintenance solutions in the region. Hosted within a 20,000 m2 regional headquarter, the range of certified MRO activities includes testing and re-coring of heat transfer equipment for aircraft.
With the introduction of REACH-compliant TCS (Trivalent Chromium System) and PACS (Post Application Conversion Sealer) advanced protection coating of heat transfer equipment components, Liebherr is the first company to offer this service to airline customers in China. The achievement underlines the company’s role as a trusted, future-oriented partner in the Asian aerospace ecosystem.
With the investment in local capabilities and more sustainable technologies, Liebherr-Aerospace continues to deliver OEM-quality services and to strengthen its role as a trusted partner for China’s aviation industry.
