Aug 08, 2013 (newstodate): Sustainability of the world's airline industry is also about recycling of aircraft parts and components.
According to a recent study by Lithuania's Avia Solutions Group quoting the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association, during the next couple of decades up to 12,000 aircraft will be sent for cannibalization, i.e. approximately 600 aircraft per year.
On average, 60-70 percent of the dismantled aircraft parts can currently be restored and reintroduced to the market.
However, with adequate investment into human resources and technologies, the figures can reach 80 percent with a potential to growing up to 90 percent, subject to new recycling technologies.
In order to meet the rising demand and make the best of acquired assets, dismantling businesses are also actively searching for additional financial options to support their development.
