TARMAC Aerosave and ATR have strengthened their partnership to recycle the manufacturer's regional aircraft. Under the partnership, up to 12 aircraft will be recycled over the coming years. The agreement will also look to identify new recycling processes in order to increase its current 85.5% recovery rate.
""In the context of a global parts shortage, our collaboration with TARMAC Aerosave allows us to tackle two great challenges at once: we further reduce our environmental footprint whilst offering our customers a ready supply of cost-effective and high-quality spare parts,"" said ATR SVP customer support and services Stefano Marazzani.
""We are proud to provide a solution to the spare parts supply crisis, and to enable ATR to offer its customers a sustainable lifecycle for their fleet,"" said TARMAC Aerosave president Alexandre Brun.
The partnership saw three ATRs recycled in 2023 and four more planned for 2024.
