Setna iO (Setna) has completed the acquisition of one Airbus A319-100 airframe formerly operated by easyJet, further expanding its aircraft teardown programme. The aircraft is one of three ex-easyJet A319-100s acquired as part of the transaction.
The airframe will be dismantled at ecube’s facility in St Athan, Wales. Components will then be channelled through Setna’s repair network, including Setnix, Setna Parts Lab, Landing Gear Technologies (LGT) and Zulu Global, for piece-part repair and recertification.
“This A319 acquisition is an exciting addition to our portfolio,” said Vinnie Beltrano, Partner and Chief Operating Officer. He added: “The aircraft will provide a valuable supply of high-demand material, supporting our long-term piece-part repair and sales strategy. Setna is uniquely positioned to repair a substantial proportion of these components through our in-house MRO network, while our global Setna iO sales team ensures parts are delivered to airlines, lessors and MROs efficiently and on schedule. This level of vertical integration gives us greater control over the supply chain, reduces turnaround times, improves material availability and enables us to remain highly competitive on pricing.”
