Aircraft Support Industries (ASI) has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with North American Aerospace Industries (NAAI) for the development of three new dedicated aircraft recycling facilities including the facility planned at the Global TransPark in Kinston, North Carolina, U.S.A.
The other two facilities being constructed will be located at Al Ain International Airport in Abu Dhabi, UAE and Clark International Airport in the Philippines. In providing its services ASI will rely on a phased-in project development approach. Phase one will focus on a custom-designed 30,000 m² dismantling hangar that can accommodate three of the largest aircraft such as the A380. ASI will apply its proprietary stressed-arch building system along with a 7,500 m² annex for the construction of the 100-meter span hangar.
The annex will be used to house the engineering support workshops and materials warehousing for the NAAI facility in the U.S.A. and facilities in the Middle East and Asia. Subsequent phases include for a two-bay wide-body MRO hangar and a dedicated wide-body painting hangar.
