APOC Aviation, a specialist in trading and leasing aircraft parts, engines and landing gear, has purchased Airbus A320-200 MSN 4533 from FTAI for teardown.
The 15-year-old airframe, most recently operated by Jetstar Pacific Airlines under registration VN-A562, first flew on December 1, 2010. It will be dismantled at the Tarmac Aerosave facility in Toulouse-Francazal, France, starting in May.
Craig Skilton, APOC Aviation’s VP of Components, stated that these in-demand components will boost the company’s growing asset pool, supporting airline customers worldwide.
The acquisition aligns with APOC’s focus on purchasing end-of-life narrow-body airframes for part-out utilization, amid a growing market for teardowns driven by demand for high-quality components.
