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.
