VAS Aero Services has acquired two additional Boeing 737-700 aircraft for teardown and subsequent parts harvesting and marketing. With this acquisition, VAS has acquired a total of 27 aircraft in the last year.
VAS will manage the teardown of both aircraft at Marana, AZ with disassembly starting in July 2023. Used Serviceable Materials (USM) parts from the new teardowns will augment VAS’s widely accessed aftermarket parts inventory, distributed through the company’s worldwide airline operator and MRO customer base.
“As the industry’s leading provider of narrowbody aircraft transition management services, VAS has established itself as a trusted Best Partner to airlines and lessors looking to realize maximum value from their soon-to-be-retired assets,” said Tommy Hughes, chief executive, VAS Aero. “The additional two Boeing aircraft to our deep inventory assures that we will have superior, high-demand USM parts for our customers around the world, and further cements our position as the premier provider of USM parts and solutions to the global aviation marketplace.”
