VAS Aero Services, a renowned global leader in aviation logistics and aftermarket services, has acquired two additional B737-700 aircraft. These aircraft will undergo teardown processes for efficient parts harvesting and subsequent marketing.

The disassembly of both aircraft will be managed by VAS at Marana, AZ, with the process set to commence in July 2023. With this latest acquisition, VAS has now secured a total of 27 aircraft within the past 12 months. The Used Serviceable Materials (USM) parts derived from these teardowns will enhance VAS’ extensive aftermarket parts inventory. These parts will be distributed through the company’s vast network of worldwide airline operators and MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul) customers.

Tommy Hughes, the CEO of VAS, expressed the company’s commitment to meeting the needs of their customers. He stated, “The additional two Boeing aircraft added to our already substantial inventory ensures that we can offer superior, highly sought-after USM parts to our customers globally. This further solidifies our position as the premier provider of USM parts and solutions in the global aviation marketplace.”
