The Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre (ALSC) has started its operations in Chengdu (China), offering solutions to manage the entire lifecycle of an aircraft. This centre is the first of its kind to cover, as a one-stop shop, the full range of activities from aircraft parking and storage to maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling and recycling services for various aircraft types, as well as the controlled distribution of used parts from dismantling.
The Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre in Chengdu is certified by both the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC).
The Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre covers a surface area of 717,000 m² and has a storage capacity of 125 aircraft. The site will progressively ramp up operations between now and 2025, directly employing up to 150 employees. The main buildings have obtained the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification for their construction, which is a first step to reducing the environmental impacts of operations at the ALSC site.
Under one roof, the Airbus Lifecycle Services Centre unites a joint venture between Airbus, Tarmac Aerosave and the city of Chengdu, along with the Airbus company Satair.
