Skyservice Business Aviation (Skyservice) has launched an aircraft teardown business model to offer sustainable solutions and address the current aircraft parts shortage crisis.

Accredited under the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association’s (AFRA) Best Maintenance Practices for Disassembly, Skyservice says the new venture also provides owners with a compelling return on investment (ROI) for their retired aircraft.

Benjamin Murray, president and chief executive of Skyservice, said: “Our approach to aircraft teardowns not only addresses immediate supply chain issues but also contributes to a more sustainable aviation ecosystem while delivering a strong ROI for aircraft owners.”

Skyservice says that by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, industry expertise and its AFRA accreditation, the company aims to maximise the overhaul and recycling of aircraft components, reducing waste and minimising environmental impact.

To facilitate a seamless and financially rewarding experience, Skyservice says that its flexible approach offers tailored teardown options, catering to individual preferences and maximising value recovery for retired aircraft.

Owners can elect to directly sell their retired aircraft to Skyservice, ensuring guaranteed monetary return and complete management of the teardown process. Alternatively, Skyservice provides consignment services, handling the disassembly and subsequent sale of parts, with owners receiving a competitive share of the proceeds.
