AerFin has taken an important step forward in its global operations with the successful teardown of a Boeing 777-300ER previously operated by Japan Airlines. This marks the first in a series of Boeing 777 aircraft that the company plans to acquire and dismantle over the next 12 months, as it continues to strengthen its position within the aviation aftermarket.
The teardown, which took place in New Mexico, focused on recovering key high-value components such as nacelles and reverse thrusters. These major parts have been securely stored in Arizona, while the majority of the remaining harvested material has already been transferred to AerFin's facility in Miami. This distribution ensures that the components are well-positioned to meet demand from clients across the globe.
By adding a substantial volume of high-quality serviceable material to its inventory, AerFin is now able to support a wider range of operators, MROs and leasing companies with competitively priced components for the Boeing 777-300ER — one of the most widely used wide-body aircraft in commercial aviation. The move highlights AerFin's commitment to sustainability, efficiency, and value creation in the aftermarket space.
Jacqueline Fernandez, SVP Americas at AerFin, commented: “We're proud to bring this B777-300ER material to market at a time when operators are seeking cost-effective, sustainable support for their fleets. With a wide inventory now available from our Miami warehouse, we're well-positioned to serve customers quickly and efficiently across the Americas and beyond.”
This latest project not only enhances AerFin's global footprint but also reinforces its reputation for delivering reliable and forward-thinking aftermarket solutions. With deep technical knowledge and a commitment to customer service, the company continues to support the evolving needs of the aviation industry with speed, precision, and a solutions-driven mindset.
