APOC expands teardown programme with A320 acquisition

APOC Aviation has acquired an Airbus A320-200 from FTAI for teardown to expand its component supply offerings. The 15-year-old aircraft, most recently operated by Jetstar Pacific Airlines, is set for dismantling in May at Tarmac Aerosave’s Toulouse-Francazal facility in France.

This acquisition aligns with APOC’s efforts to increase its inventory of mature and newer assets, supporting operators from major carriers to those maintaining legacy fleets. Components from the A320 will integrate into the company’s growing exchange programme, complementing stock from a recent A319 teardown in the UK after repair and recertification.

APOC noted strong demand for used serviceable material, especially in the narrow-body segment central to its customer base. The company also provides landing gear and engines for narrow-body and wide-body platforms, including CFM56 and V2500 variants, available for exchange, lease, and parts support.

The transaction was managed by APOC’s major assets team as part of broader disassembly expansion, supported by ongoing investments and an enlarged team of aviation specialists.
