AELS has recently accomplished the acquisition of a Boeing 737-800 airframe with the invaluable support of PTS Aviation (Standard Aero group). The aircraft landed at Twente Airport in Enschede, the Netherlands, marking the commencement of its disassembly and dismantling by AELS’ proficient team at its dedicated premises.

Through the strategic purchase of end-of-life aircraft and its responsible and sustainable dismantling process, AELS continues to contribute to the global aviation industry by supplying aircraft parts and alleviating operators’ supply chain challenges. This approach has bestowed the company with a distinctive standing in the circular aviation industry.

Approximately 1,500 components, including the landing gear, APU, wheels and brakes of this B737 aircraft, will soon be incorporated into AELS’ inventory, ready to find its way to new owners and serve the aviation community once again.

Since 2006 AELS has been buying end-of-life Boeing and Airbus aircraft that the company disassembles at its own facility. The company is the only one 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.
