Jan 8, 2021 (newstodate): The project at Norway's Farsund Aircraft Storage to launch business at Farsund Lista Airport is entering a decisive stage this week.
   The project has engaged a former Norwegian CAA inspector to assist in the complex negotiations with the CAA and sort out remaining snags in the long-drawn-out procedure for approving the coming new business at Farsund Lista Airport with one 2,990m runway.
   The project is currently expanding the existing hangar facility as well as planning for construction of a new 10,000 sq m hangar to allow for inspections on aircraft types up to the size of the Airbus A380.
    The company will be offering storage for up to 150 aircraft including Airbus A320, Boeing 737, Airbus A330/340 and even Boeing 787 aircraft, benefiting from a rather stable climate and parking on concrete surfaces.  
   Hopes are that the coning new hangar and systems now to be implemented will enable the company to perform cannibalization of even large aircraft at the airport.
   Already ISO-certified, the company will demonstrate its ability to scrapping of aircraft at high environmental concern.
   The new company will work with partners including the Icelandic EASA part 145-approved  maintenance company Arctic Maintenance as well as the Icelandic company GMT, Ground Maintenance Technics, that can provide wrapping of aircraft for protection on long-term storage.
