VAS Aero Services and Dr. Peters Group have entered into an agreement for the dismantling and redistribution of assets from four Airbus A380 aircraft. This collaboration marks another instance where the two entities have joined forces for the teardown and reuse of Airbus A380 parts.
Previously, VAS and Dr. Peters executed the inaugural teardown of an A380. Subsequent to this, three additional A380s were assigned for dismantling under a contract established between the two companies from 2020 onwards.
“Our history of turning to VAS Aero Services to manage the teardown of sophisticated aircraft such as the A380 made this an easy decision for us. Their unique dismantlement capabilities and their worldwide aftermarket sales network offer unmatched value for organizations looking to remove aircraft from service,. With the resurgence in the reliance on the A380 increasing the need for quality USM parts, the timing is right for retiring end-of-life A380 aircraft and monetizing the residual value of their serviceable parts.”
Christian Mailly, Managing Director and Head of Aviation at Dr. Peters Group
VAS will oversee the dismantling of three of the aircraft in collaboration with Tarmac Aerosave, located in Tarbes, France. Parts from these aircraft will be distributed within the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
The fourth A380 will be dismantled at the Asia Pacific Aircraft Storage facilities in Alice Springs, Australia, making parts available to VAS customers in Australia, Oceania, and Southeast Asia.
