Aircraft trading, leasing and part-out company APOC Aviation has purchased a 15-year-old Airbus A320-200 from FTAI for teardown.
The airframe, most recently operated by Jetstar Pacific Airlines, will be dismantled at the Tarmac Aerosave facility in Toulouse-Francazal, France, in May.
Craig Skilton, vice president of components at APOC Aviation, stated that the company is broadening its pool of mature and newer assets to service carriers ranging from top-tier customers to those needing parts for legacy equipment.
Skilton added that APOC’s new exchange service, launching this month, draws from recent A319 teardown activity in the UK, with components from this A320-200 set to expand the inventory after repair and re-certification.
APOC Aviation noted that its primary customer base aligns with the narrowbody sector, where demand for used serviceable material remains strong. The company also provides widebody and narrowbody landing gear, as well as CFM56-3/5A/5B/7B and V2500-A5 engines, for exchange, lease and parts services.
Karolis Jurkevičius, vice president of landing gear and major assets at APOC Aviation, said the deal reflects active investment in its disassembly program, backed by financial support and a growing team of aviation specialists.
