Executive Jet Support (EJS) has purchased two Airbus A340-600 aircraft from USC GmbH in Germany, marking its entry into A340 teardown projects.
The acquired aircraft bear manufacturer serial numbers MSN 771 and MSN 846. EJS, a provider of aviation services, stated the deal enhances its Airbus program by expanding capabilities to supply operators, maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) providers, and trading partners with additional Airbus materials.
USC GmbH, a Frankfurt-based startup founded in 2020 as Universal Sky Carrier, holds an Air Operator’s Certificate from Germany’s Luftfahrt-Bundesamt and operates A340-300 and A340-600 aircraft for passenger and cargo services on wet-lease basis. The company had planned passenger-to-freighter conversions for its fleet through UK firm Avensis Aviation, including a Class E freighter setup and later a full NAVIS PTF configuration with a plug-type main deck cargo door.
These A340-600s were previously part of South African Airways’ fleet. The transaction supports EJS’s growth in dismantling older widebody aircraft amid ongoing demand for parts from carriers like Lufthansa, which continues operating some A340s due to delivery delays on newer models.
