CanJet Becomes First Canadian Customer for Boeing Landing Gear Exchange Program

Canada's newest full-service charter airline, CanJet, has become the first Canadian customer for the Boeing landing gear exchange program with a service contract covering CanJet's 737-800 airplanes.

Participants in the landing gear exchange program receive fully overhauled and certified landing gear shipsets during scheduled gear maintenance cycles, giving customers an alternative to the capital investment of new landing gear.

"The landing gear exchange program allows our airline customers to focus on what they do best," said Dale Wilkinson, vice president of Boeing Commercial Airplanes Material Services organization. "Providing engineering and inventory support for such a high-cost asset is one way we give our customers the Boeing Edge."

CanJet's landing gear exchange will cover exchanges scheduled between 2012 and 2013.

"After careful consideration, it was a good business decision to select Boeing as our landing gear exchange service provider," said Kent Woodside, executive vice president of operations for CanJet. "The OEM knowledge, experience and support provided by Material Services, coupled with their 100% on-time delivery history, showed us that they care about our success."
