DAS Aviation has announced a significant expansion of its maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities with the addition of dedicated landing gear services targeting business jet operators. The expansion includes upgrades across two locations, now encompassing 90,000 square feet of space specifically configured for landing gear repair, overhaul and component exchange programs. The company assembled a 25-person engineering team to lead the expanded landing gear division. The focus on business jets reflects growing demand from operators of aircraft in the midsize and large cabin segments, where landing gear cycles and airframe age are increasingly driving scheduled maintenance events. Exchange programs — which allow operators to swap components and minimize ground time — are a particular area of emphasis for the new service line. Landing gear MRO has been one of the more capacity-constrained segments of the business aviation maintenance ecosystem in recent years, with long lead times on overhaul events creating scheduling pressure for flight departments and charter operators. New provider capacity in this space is expected to improve turnaround times and give operators more flexibility in planning scheduled maintenance events around revenue flying schedules. For MRO providers introducing new service capabilities, communicating technical workflows and compliance requirements to line technicians and customer teams remains a priority. Structured aviation maintenance video production is an effective approach for documenting new procedures and keeping distributed maintenance teams aligned with updated standards.
