Airbus has opened its Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre (ALSC) in Chengdu, China which offers solutions to manage the entire lifecycle of an aircraft. The centre will offer aircraft parking and storage, maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling and recycling services for various aircraft types, as well as the controlled distribution of used parts from dismantling.
The Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre in Chengdu is certified by both the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
"Our service centre is a great example of Chinese-European cooperation in the development of the circular economy for the aviation industry," said Airbus SVP customer services.
The ALSC is a joint venture between Airbus, Tarmac Aerosave and the city of Chengdu, along with the Airbus company Satair. The centre has a storage capacity of 125 aircraft and will employ up to 150 employees.
