AerFin has completed a 2017 Airbus A320neo disassembly carried out by its partner, SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) in the Philippines.
The teardown, completed nose-to-tail in just 30 days, marks SIAEP’s inaugural aircraft disassembly and the first of its kind in the Philippines. This initiative will provide operators and MROs across Asia-Pacific with used serviceable parts from the sought-after narrowbody platform.
AerFin’s partnership with SIAEP for regional teardowns boosts supply chain efficiency and cuts lead times. This collaboration ensures customers promptly receive essential serviceable engines and components.
Paul Ashcroft, SVP of Asia Pacific at AerFin, said the project demonstrated the company’s commitment to the APAC market.
“Locating engines and components within the region allows us to respond faster to customer demand, reducing lead times and ensuring operators can access the right assets when they need them. It’s a clear demonstration of AerFin’s investment in supporting growth across this dynamic aviation hub,” he said.
This teardown builds on the recent disassembly of four 2017 A320neos at Tarmac Aerosave’s Tarbes facility in France. Each teardown is expected to introduce approximately 1,400 parts into the aviation aftermarket. Among these are serviceable PW1100 engines, in high demand for leasing or trading due to the current supply constraints.
AerFin has active teardown programmes in Europe and Asia Pacific and maintains warehousing operations across Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Americas.
Simon Goodson, Chief Executive Officer at AerFin, said: “This project marks another important step in our global strategy to strengthen support for the A320neo family and PW1100 engine solutions. By working with SIAEP in the Philippines, we’re able to position engines and components where our customers need them most – reinforcing our role as a trusted partner in keeping fleets flying efficiently and reliably”.
PW1100 engines remain highly sought after for leasing or trading in a supply-constrained market.
