Boeing has signed the largest landing gear exchange agreement in its history with Singapore Airlines Group (SIA), covering more than 75 aircraft across Singapore Airlines and Scoot’s 737 MAX and 787 fleets. The agreement provides fully overhauled certified landing gear assemblies as part of Boeing’s Landing Gear Exchange (LGE) program, designed to reduce aircraft downtime and simplify maintenance logistics.

The deal underscores the value of Boeing’s LGE program, which allows airlines to maintain a reliable supply of landing gear without large on-site inventories. By leveraging Boeing’s global managed inventory and partner network, SIA Group can improve fleet availability, enhance dispatch reliability and minimise aircraft-on-ground time across busy routes.

“Our Landing Gear Exchange program is designed to deliver the right part at the right time so airlines can keep flying with confidence,” said William Ampofo, Senior Vice President, Parts & Distribution and Supply Chain, Boeing Global Services. “Our relationship with SIA Group is built on delivering dependable solutions which helped support this new agreement across their 737 MAX and 787 fleets.”

The program operates on a swap-based system, where fully overhauled assemblies are supplied from Boeing’s global pool. When an airline requires a replacement, maintenance crews install a certified landing gear assembly and return the removed unit to the exchange pool, keeping serviceable parts in circulation and avoiding potential supply chain bottlenecks.

For airlines, the LGE program offers multiple advantages: faster maintenance turnarounds, reduced logistical complexity and lower upfront inventory costs. For passengers, this translates into fewer delays and more reliable flight schedules — a tangible benefit to operational resilience.

This landmark agreement highlights how modern supply chain solutions are increasingly central to airline operations, enabling carriers like SIA Group to maintain high standards of reliability across both short- and long-haul fleets while optimising costs.
