Vallair has purchased two A320s from Aviation Capital Group (ACG) for teardown. The aircraft (MSN 2372 and MSN 2393) are both 2005 vintage and the airframes will be dismantled at Vallair’s facility in Montpellier, France.
Armando Filho, Material Management Director of Vallair, said: “Both A320s are currently stored in Montpellier and will be processed at the end of the year with parts available in Q1 of 2023. The multiplicity of components will significantly enhance our stock of freshly tagged, modern narrowbody parts. Our inventory has already been boosted by the recent teardown of A321 MSN 1008 and these two airframes will further sustain our strategy to build a high-quality spares hub in France. We are fully committed to supporting this aircraft type for airlines, lessors, and asset managers. We have further narrowbodies in our pipeline for teardown in 2023, and to complement our new A330 widebody MRO capabilities in Châteauroux, we are analyzing return potential on widebody teardowns too.”
Vallair claims that to support its asset procurement process, intelligent repair management is combined with an integrated supply chain and a global network of audited MRO facilities, thus providing a streamlined service for the material management team.
