Tarmac Aerosave will dismantle more than 10 aircraft for AerFin over the coming months, including Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.
As demand picks up for material from new-generation narrowbodies, the France-headquartered storage and recycling specialist has established a dedicated line for the program, covering cabin and landing gear removal as well as the management of priority and standard parts lists.
The arrangement will look to speed up the recovery of components for AerFin, a supplier of used service material that also manages aircraft and engine assets on behalf of airlines, MROs and lessors. Last month, Wales-based AerFin was acquired by Japanese conglomerate ORIX.
In a statement released Sept. 11, AerFin Chief Operating Officer Simon Bayliss said the latest program reflects increasing customer demand for material from newer-generation aircraft. Despite the relatively young age of the A320neo and 737 MAX programs, which have just reached 10 years and nine years of service respectively, there is a growing demand for materials from both aircraft constrained by the limited number of teardown candidates in the market.
“With more than 10 aircraft projects again this year for AerFin, this collaboration confirms our position as a leading player in the dismantling and recycling market,” said Tarmac Aerosave chief commercial officer Christian Ceruti.
Both parties have worked together for 10 years and said they are preparing additional projects for 2027. Tarmac Aerosave, jointly owned by Airbus, Safran and environmental services company SUEZ, operates facilities in Tarbes and Toulouse-Francazal in France and in Teruel in Spain.
Since commencing operations in 2007, the company said it has received more than 2,000 aircraft, redelivered 1,450 and dismantled 450 aircraft and 255 engines.
