AELS has bought its first Boeing 777 end-of-life aircraft. The acquisition was realised in partnership with MTU Maintenance Lease Services, which bought the engines, type GE90-115B. The aircraft had its final touch-down at Twente Airport in Enschede, the Netherlands, and will be disassembled and dismantled at the AELS premises by the professional AELS team.
By purchasing end-of-life aircraft, dismantling them and serving the global aviation industry with aircraft parts, AELS is uniquely positioned in the circular aviation industry. Now that AELS can add Boeing 777 parts to its inventory, the company is able to serve their customers even better.
Since 2006 AELS has been buying end-of-life Boeing and Airbus aircraft that the company disassembles at its own facility. AELS is the only company in Europe that handles the entire supply chain for aircraft that reach end-of-life, from disassembly and dismantling, component management to material recycling.
The company is fully AFRA (Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association) accredited for dismantling and recycling of aircraft and holds an ASA-100 accreditation for component management.
