Unical Aviation Inc., a global specialist in commercial aviation aftermarket solutions, has announced the acquisition of a fleet of Airbus A320neo airframes, marking the launch of the industry's first dedicated disassembly programme for the neo-family aircraft.
ecube, a Unical Group company and a recognised global leader in aircraft storage and end-of-life solutions, will be responsible for conducting the disassembly operations. The aircraft deliveries will commence in April 2025, with the programme representing a significant milestone in Unical's strategy to expand the availability of next-generation aftermarket materials for the rapidly growing A320neo fleet.
“As the first to launch a disassembly effort on A320neo aircraft, Unical is staying ahead of the curve to meet the evolving needs of our airline and MRO customers,” said David Dicken, EVP of Assets at Unical Aviation. “These assets will soon be transformed into high-demand material to support operators worldwide with cost-effective, timely aftermarket solutions.”
The Airbus A320neo family has established itself as one of the most widely adopted aircraft platforms in commercial aviation. With demand for high-quality, serviceable material increasing rapidly, Unical's proactive acquisition and disassembly of these airframes will accelerate the availability of next-generation components to the market. This initiative is set to reduce turnaround times for critical maintenance, ultimately benefiting operators with greater efficiency and cost savings.
By pioneering this programme, Unical Aviation reinforces its commitment to providing innovative, sustainable solutions for the aviation industry, ensuring operators have access to the components they need when they need them.
