APOC Aviation, the innovative aircraft and engines leasing, trading and part-out specialist, recently participated in a trade conference with Chinese Government representatives in Amsterdam. It is APOC’s intention to expand its global footprint with a trading presence in Asia and it has signed an MOU with its Chinese partners to progress a far-reaching growth plan throughout the region. This is likely to include stock hubs in designated parts of the Chinese mainland together with warehousing and AOG support offices in Hong Kong and Singapore.
According to APOC’s Founder & Managing Director, Max Wooldrik, who attended the trade conference with Barry Lemmers, Chief Financial Officer, APOC Aviation is pursuing a fast-growth strategy and a dynamic programme of investment is already underway. The Company has just acquired three A320 airframes for part-out. MSN 712, 718 and 720 which were formerly acquired by CALC Group (China Aircraft Leasing Group) from China Southern Air Leasing.
“This was APOC’s first significant deal in China” says Wooldrik. “The acquisition of these three A320 airframes heralds our intention to expand our business in Asia and using local tear-down specialists maximises cost-efficiency from the outset. We’re retaining CALC Group’s MRO joint venture, FL ARI Aircraft Maintenance & Engineering Company Ltd (FL ARI), to perform the part-out in CALC’s aircraft recycling facility located in Harbin, China.”
