– Boeing’s Landing Gear Exchange program offers airlines a cost-effective and efficient solution for maintaining their fleets.
SINGAPORE, February 4, 2026 — boeing [NYSE: BA] successfully completed its 100th delivery of the 787 Landing Gear Exchange (LGE), highlighting its commitment to innovative solutions that improve operational efficiency and safety for its customers. ANA received the delivery of the milestone.
“The Landing Gear Exchange program has been instrumental in optimizing our maintenance operations and ensuring the highest levels of safety during our passengers’ travels with us,” said Yukifumi Ueda, vice president and general manager of Engines, Components and Supply Chain at ANA. “This latest delivery demonstrates our strong partnership with Boeing and our commitment to providing exceptional, seamless service to our customers.”
ANA received and installed landing gear assemblies through the exchange program on 30 of its 787s.
“This milestone reinforces our dedication to providing airlines with critical parts when and where they are needed to maximize fleet availability and strengthen operational resilience. By ensuring a reliable and efficient supply chain, we continue to drive measurable value for airline operations around the world,” said William Ampofo, senior vice president, Parts and Distribution and Supply Chain, Boeing Global Services. “We are also investing and expanding the capacity of our interchange group to meet the growing needs of our customers as they begin their 787-9 overhaul cycle.”
Over the past 20 years, the LGE program has become the preferred choice for operators around the world. Boeing has successfully contracted swaps for more than 480 787 tails from 34 airlines in the landing gear swap horizon, with many customers expanding their services or adding tails to the swap. ANA has LGE contracts to support its 787-8 and 787-9 fleet. Other recent contracts include unnamed customers signing up for a total of 65 swaps for their 787-8 and 787-9 fleets.
Boeing’s LGE program also offers a capital-efficient model that eliminates the need for airlines to purchase and manage landing gear assets or oversee complex overhaul processes. By offering early exchange of reconditioned and certified landing gear, the program reduces green time loss and aircraft downtime, allowing airlines to preserve liquidity, streamline maintenance and focus on providing reliable, seamless service to their customers.
