Satair, an Airbus Services company, has acquired an A319 airframe from China Asset Leasing Company Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Aircraft Leasing Group Holdings Limited (CALC), a global aircraft solutions provider.j
The deal marks Satair Chengdu’s first asset purchase and strengthens its position in the aircraft end-of-life solutions market.
The A319, manufactured in 2005, was previously operated by Sichuan Airlines, will be dismantled by Airbus (Chengdu) Lifecycle Services Ltd. (ALS), with the high-quality used serviceable materials being distributed globally through Satair and VAS Aero Services’ extensive network.
ALS will also provide CALC with services for the removal, preservation, and storage of the aircraft’s two engines. This comprehensive approach ensures that both the airframe and engines are handled efficiently, offering a complete end-of-life solution.
“This first airframe acquisition is a significant milestone for Satair Chengdu and a testament to our commitment to providing comprehensive end-of-life solutions to our customers,” said Andy Lee, Managing Director, China, Satair. “By working with a respected partner like CALC and leveraging our strong collaboration with ALS, we are enhancing our ability to meet the growing demand for high-quality used serviceable materials and support the full lifecycle of an aircraft.”
