Tarmac Aerosave plans to expand its aircraft-dismantling capacity to as many as 100 aircraft a year as demand grows for parts from newer-generation fleets. The company is processing more than 10 Airbus A320neo and Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for AerFin during 2026, recovering components for the aviation aftermarket at its European facilities, including Teruel in Spain.
The AerFin programme covers cabin and landing-gear removal, along with the management of priority and standard component inventories. Engines, landing gear, cabin equipment and other parts from relatively young aircraft can command greater value as used serviceable material than the airframes may generate in continued operation.
The initiative responds to increasing demand for replacement components for A320neo and 737 MAX fleets, where engine-related availability constraints and the limited number of teardown candidates have tightened aftermarket supply. Tarmac Aerosave and AerFin have worked together for about a decade, and further dismantling projects are being prepared for 2027.
Tarmac Aerosave provides aircraft storage, maintenance, dismantling and recycling services at sites in France and Spain. Its dedicated line for the AerFin programme is intended to accelerate component removal and return recovered material to the market.
