EirTrade Aviation has continued to grow its operations at Ireland West Airport in Knock.
The asset management and trading company secured a servicing agreement for four A330s, added an A330 line maintenance approval, and relocated its AFRA-accredited engine disassembly facility to Knock.
"Dismantling of the first two A330 airframes (MSN 602 & 607) following redelivery will complete in four weeks’ time, however EirTrade will remarket and lease the CF6-80E1 engines to monetise remaining green time,” said EirTrade chief investment officer Lee Carey.
“Once they are unserviceable, the engines will also be disassembled and the components sold to support EirTrade’s A330 customers.”
Inventory removed from the aircraft will be sold, leased, and exchanged to support EirTrade’s A330 customer base.
The company added EASA Part 145 line maintenance approval for the A330 (GE CF6), A330 (PW 4000), A330 (RR Trent 700), A330 NEO (RR Trent 7000) to its capabilities.
The relocated engine disassembly facility offers services for CFM56-3/-5A/-5B/-7B/-7BE engine types.
“EirTrade can now provide all maintenance services, aircraft disassembly, and engine disassembly services to customers from our facility at Ireland West Airport,” said Carey.
“This streamlines EirTrade’s operational efficiency across the organisation and supports our wide range of services, including asset servicing, leasing, maintenance, disassembly and component sales.”
