Broward Aviation Services has acquired a 737 NG airframe from AerCap for disassembly. The aircraft was previously operated by South Korean operator t'way Air. The disassembly for the vintage 2004 aircraft will be undertaken at the AerCap Materials facility in Greenwood-Leflore County Airport Mississippi.
The disassembly is expected to be completed mid-February.
“We’re procuring airframes and engines for teardown to boost our inventory and enable us to better serve our rapidly expanding global customer base,” said president and co-founder of BAS Group companies Dennis Amaty. "We have inventory valued at over $60 million and are actively focusing on stock for the B737NG aircraft type.”
Broward Aviation Services vice president of asset management Craig Padvaiskas commented: “We’re focused on building real depth in our parts portfolio and we recently dismantled a 737-700 to boost USM stock supporting narrowbody operators and MROs seeking comprehensive and efficient component provision 24/7.”
After teardown all parts will go to specialist shops for repair and overhaul including Jet Air MRO and Air Accessories & Avionics, both of which are BAS Group companies.
