3TOP Aviation Services (3TOP) has announced the acquisition of an Airbus A320-214, formerly operated by Iberia Express. The aircraft, identified by MSN 1450, is currently stationed at the ecube facility in Castellón, Spain, where it will be dismantled for surplus material. The engines from the aircraft will either be integrated into 3TOP’s trading pool or harvested for valuable parts to support the company’s aftermarket services.
Chris Emechete, CEO of 3TOP, commented on the acquisition: “We are delighted to bring this one onboard as we continue to beef up our inventory and solidify our position as a reliable and dependable source for aftermarket support.”
Founded in 1999, 3TOP Aviation is headquartered in Surrey, UK, strategically located between Heathrow and Gatwick, two of the country’s largest airports. The company operates satellite offices in key global locations, including Dubai (UAE), Chennai (India), Bremen (Germany), Dallas (USA), and Singapore, allowing it to support a diverse range of customers with comprehensive nose-to-tail requirements.
3TOP has established itself as a go-to partner for aviation clients worldwide, known for its expertise in managing aircraft parts, materials and components. With a focus on sustainability and cost-efficiency, the company’s dismantling strategy ensures that valuable components are repurposed, extending the life of aircraft materials and supporting the global aviation supply chain.
This latest acquisition underscores 3TOP’s dedication to expanding its capabilities and meeting the growing demands of its international customer base, providing quality parts and support from its extensive global network.
