AMTRA Aero Component Solutions LLC, an affiliate of AMTRA Aero LLC based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has executed a letter of intent to acquire an Airbus A320-200 aircraft for teardown. The move aims to broaden its inventory of narrowbody aircraft components.
The company, formed in September 2024 to manage part-out aircraft and inventory sales, operates a 12,000-square-foot facility at Tulsa International Airport, including 4,000 square feet of air-conditioned storage. It previously acquired an A319-100, MSN 3069, in September 2024 for on-site dismantling, with parts made available by November 2024.
A320 teardown processes typically begin with draining fuel and hydraulics, followed by removal of customer-specified parts from areas such as the cockpit, wings, and cabin. Parts are then inventoried. Remaining materials in the cabin are sorted for metals like aluminum and copper. Landing gear is removed last, before the airframe is cut into pieces for disposal or recycling.
Similar recent acquisitions include APOC Aviation’s purchase of an A320-200, MSN 4533, from FTAI in April 2026, and Werner Aero’s acquisition of MSN 2874 from FTAI in June 2025, both destined for teardown to supply high-demand components.
