Dec 06, 2017 (newstodate): The Danish aircraft maintenance company Aeroservice has added a new capability to its offerings at Copenhagen Airport: aircraft part-out.
-After obtaining all pertinent approvals by the Danish authorities that have been highly supportive in the process and the full cooperation with Copenhagen Airport, we have started our first part-out work on an Avro RJ100 aircraft at our premises at Copenhagen Airport, says Andrew Djurhuus, Aeroservice CEO and Accountable Manager.
-After a collision in 2016 at the airport, the Avro aircraft has been maintained by Aeroservice that has finally taken over the aircraft after a decision was made not to repair it.
-After the former operator removed certain parts and components of the aircraft, we have started the process of demounting systems, parts and components with service lives allowing for sale to aircraft operators.
-After that we will consider the future of the aircraft hull and its remaining parts that may find use as training objects for crews, emergency drills or maybe industrial apprentices.
-We may come up with some ideas ourselves, or we may cooperate with other partners bringing in new ideas for use of the aircraft.
-Eventually, the aircraft will end up as scrap metal and this would in itself be a proof that scrapping an aircraft can be performed not only in low-wage countries but even in a country like Denmark with respect to all pertinent environmental and social obligations, says Mr Djurhuus.
Aeroservice has actually already been approached by a few potential customers inquiring about future cooperation in aircraft part-out and scrapping.
