Company: AerCap Materials Product: AerCap broke into the teardown business in late 2021 by acquiring GE Capital Aviation Services, which included a parts business active in aircraft teardowns and part-outs. The new subsidiary, AerCap Materials, provides airframe dismantling services for a wide range of commercial and business aircraft. It dismantles aircraft from its facility at Greenwood-Leflore County Airport in Mississippi and recently opened a new distribution center in Memphis, Tennessee. AerCap Materials has dismantled more than 300 aircraft and stocks more than 15,000 unique parts. Company: Ecube Product: Ecube provides aircraft disassembly, demolition and recycling services in Castellon, Spain, and at its base in St. Athan, Wales. It opened its first U.S. teardown facility in October 2022 at Coolidge Municipal Airport, about midway between Phoenix and Tucson, Arizona. Ecube says the expansion to the U.S. enables it to cover almost 90% of the global aircraft market. In 2022, Ecube appointed a new CEO and a new vice president of sustainability and business development. As part of its sustainability commitment, it offers parted-out aircraft sections and components for upcycling in such areas as training, education and entertainment.
