VAS Aero Services, a global leader in aviation logistics and aftermarket services, and aircraft lessor Avolon have announced an agreement for VAS to manage the disassembly and residual parts distribution of three A320-family
aircraft owned by Avolon. The serviceable material will be marketed and placed through VAS’s worldwide parts network to support its key customer base of major operators and MROs. The agreement covers full aircraft management.
The aircraft will be disassembled by VAS at a teardown facility in Hondo, TX, USA. The Airbus aircraft include one A319, one A320 and one A321. Avolon serves the worldwide aviation market from operations hubs in Ireland, the USA, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai. The company provides leasing and lease management services to the global airline industry.
