Another four A380s will be dismantled in the coming weeks.
In recent days, two of the main companies that process second-hand A380s have reached an agreement for the dismantling of another 4 planes.
This agreement is motivated mainly due to the enormous demand for parts that currently exists for the A380. The aircraft in service require a large number of new or reconditioned parts.
Second-hand market
Given this enormous market that is opening up for the owners of A380s and given the already more than evident lack of demand for these aircraft as second-hand units, owners of the stored aircraft have decided to proceed to dismantle other four units.
A leasing company has closed an agreement with VAS Aero Services for the dismantling of the aircraft and the distribution of the parts to Europe, the Middle East, Australia, Oceania and Southeast Asia.
15 aircraft already scrapped
Several aircraft have been dismantled at the Tarmac Aerosave facilities in Tarbes, France and in Alice Springs, Australia for exemple.
