Finnair and AerFin announce Sustainable Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions collaboration

AerFin and Finnair are collaborating in the sustainable phase-out management of Finnair’s retiring aircraft. The collaboration starts with the disassembly of one of Finnair’s A319 aircraft, whereby Finnair leverages AerFin’s technical and commercial expertise to analyse and determine where continued operational value can be driven on a component level from Finnair’s airframe and engine assets. AerFin then manages the disassembly of the airframe through its network of (Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association) AFRA approved Teardown partners, with the engines disassembled at AerFin’s EASA145, and soon to be FAA, approved 150,000 sq. Ft facility near Cardiff. Harvested components are then repaired before
