AviTrader MRO 360°- Aircraft Disassembly and Used Serviceable Materials
In the April issue of AviTrader MRO 360°, our Group Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, Pascal Parant, discusses the current trends and challenges in the MRO supply chain. An in-depth discussion into the disassembly process.
Parant comments, “Storing and maintaining an aircraft with the hope it will fly again comes with a cost. This can sometimes be offset by depreciation strategies beneficial to lessors or airlines. But if you’re sitting on full maintenance reserves, the calculation becomes straightforward: sell the aircraft, cash in quickly, and let the USM specialists like Vallair handle the asset.”

Freighter Trends – Narrowbody Freighter Conversion Outlook
In the March issue of Freighter Trends, our Group Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, Pascal Parant, offers an outlook on the narrowbody freighter conversion sector.
Parant comments, “The A321 freighter fleet is expanding, but Vallair has recently noticed an operator returning a significant portion of its fleet due to a lack of market demand. While there are conversion slots available, the number of suitable aircraft is limited.
“Passenger demand remains so high that it is often more profitable to extend leases, or transition aircraft to another passenger airline, rather than convert them to freighters. The market isn’t quite there yet, but we know it’s only a matter of time.”

Freighter Trends – Aircraft Disassembly
In the March issue of Freighter Trends, our Group Chief Commercial & Marketing Officer, Pascal Parant, shares the trends that are driving the demand for aircraft disassembly and how the teardown process helps address the supply chain issues.
Parant comments, “Vallair observes that parts recovered from aircraft teardown almost always hold their value – especially those harvested from younger aircraft. It is logical for owners to seek to maximise the residual value of their assets, and they do this primarily by participating in the Used Serviceable Material (USM) market.”
