GA Telesis has launched its first Boeing 737 MAX 8 disassembly programme, creating a new source of used serviceable material for airlines and maintenance organisations supporting the expanding next-generation narrowbody fleet. The Fort Lauderdale-based company will make recovered components available through its global distribution network, extending its aftermarket activity from the Airbus A320neo to Boeing’s 737 MAX platform.
The planned component portfolio includes avionics, flight controls, landing-gear equipment, hydraulic and pneumatic systems, nacelle components and other critical assemblies. GA Telesis’s integrated aircraft-lifecycle model covers acquisition, asset management, disassembly, technical-records management, component repair, inventory financing and distribution.
Recovered parts can be inspected, repaired, overhauled and returned to service through the company’s in-house MRO capabilities and worldwide repair network. The programme is intended to provide additional supply options for airlines and maintenance organisations as the installed 737 MAX fleet grows.
GA Telesis did not disclose the aircraft’s operator, registration, age, production number, acquisition cost, disassembly location, expected component volumes or customer commitments. The initiative follows the company’s existing A320neo disassembly activity and broadens its focus across the two leading next-generation narrowbody aircraft families.
