Skyservice achieves AFRA accreditation for aircraft teardown and recycling
Skyservice has launched its aircraft teardown business model, which is accredited under the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association’s (AFRA) Best Maintenance Practices for Disassembly.
This new venture offers sustainable solutions, addresses the current aircraft parts shortage crisis, and provides owners with a compelling return on investment (ROI) for their retired aircraft, the company said.
“Our AFRA accreditation represents a significant milestone in our commitment to sustainability and innovation within the aviation sector,” said Benjamin Murray, President and CEO of Skyservice.
“The current challenges in the aircraft parts market present unique opportunities for responsible solutions. Our approach to aircraft teardowns not only addresses immediate supply chain issues but also contributes to a more sustainable aviation ecosystem while delivering a strong ROI for aircraft owners.”
In response to the growing demand for aircraft parts amid supply chain disruptions, Skyservice has developed a comprehensive strategy that prioritises environmentally conscious teardown practices.
Owners can elect to directly sell their retired aircraft to Skyservice, ensuring guaranteed monetary return and complete management of the teardown process. Alternatively, Skyservice provides consignment services, handling the disassembly and subsequent sale of parts, with owners receiving a competitive share of the proceeds.
