GA Telesis disassembles additional CF6-80C2 engine

GA Telesis (GAT) has disassembled an additional CF6-80C2 engine. The engine was a lease-return sourced from the company's Asset Transaction Group lease pool and will be managed by GAT's Component Solutions Group
(CSG).

The CF6 is one of the most popular engines in CSG's USM inventory, with over 200 of this engine-type disassembled by the group. In the face of the enormous downturn in the aviation industry, GAT continues to lead the way with opportunistic acquisitions and creative solutions for its airline and MRO partners' future. This latest teardown will add to the growing USM inventory to provide new cost savings for the market for years to come.
