HAECO Xiamen has recently obtained formal approval from the CAAC for its Airbus A320 part-out capability. The company is the only MRO in Eastern China to have obtained this approval, since when it has undertaken its first A320 part-out project for Yan Wu Group, disassembling four aircraft for the Chinese mainland operator.
In recent years, the aviation industry has seen a growing number of aircraft retired. Disassembling retired planes in order to reuse parts and recycle materials enables operators to optimise the residual value of the aircraft, whilst minimising environmental and safety risks.
The aircraft part-out capability complements HAECO Xiamen’s comprehensive suite of services from parts manufacturing for new aircraft, to cabin design and completion, airframe maintenance, modification and cabin reconfiguration. This new addition to its service offering highlights the MRO’s commitment to leveraging its engineering expertise and capabilities to create sustainable value for the region’s aviation industry.
