GA Telesis has launched its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 disassembly programme as the aviation services company expands its supply of used components for newer-generation aircraft.
The move follows an announcement earlier this week involving a CFM LEAP-powered Airbus A320neo, reinforcing the company’s strategy to supply used serviceable material (USM) for the two leading narrow-body aircraft families.
GA Telesis said it was targeting demand for components as airlines contend with supply chain constraints, lengthy original equipment manufacturer delivery times and rising maintenance costs.
The 737 MAX 8 programme will provide components including avionics, flight controls, landing gear equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, nacelle components and other assemblies.
The parts will be distributed through GA Telesis’ global network, offering airlines and maintenance providers additional sources of material as the next-generation aircraft fleet expands.
The company said the initiative formed part of its broader strategy to increase its presence in the aftermarket for newer commercial aircraft, which has traditionally focused on supporting older fleets.
