We have a specialized team that forecasts the potential teardown value before any aircraft purchase decision is made. If there is interest in an aircraft type and the assets that can be harvested from it, the first step is to scrutinized the aircraft equipment list and create a revenue forecast.
We will either buy an airframe and/or an engine which is considered to have potential for part-out, or work with the asset owner that approaches us to show that they can derive greater value from parting out - rather than the continuing operation with their expected returns. We then use our expertise to make profitable part-out possible.
All parts are harvested in 'as is' condition so cannot be fitted on another aircraft straight away in the majority of cases. Components are subsequently re-certified/repaired or overhauled through our component MRO facility, and its extensive network of repair vendors and OEMs. Once repaired and re-certified, the parts will be shipped to strategic inventory hubs around the world ready for exchange, sale and lease.
In China, we partner with China Eastern MRO based out in Hefei City to tear down aircraft assets. China Eastern Hefei MRO has over 300 mechanics, with CAAC approved teardown capabilities.
