Luxembourg: Vallair ASSETS acquires aircraft and engines that operators need to dispose of to remain competitive in an ever-changing commercial aviation landscape. As an active member of ISTAT, our primary focus is to maximise the life and value from aircraft assets, and we do this through cargo conversion, teardown for USM (used serviceable material), or managing green-time lease agreements.

We concentrate on A320 family, A321, A330, and B737 Classic/NG aircraft; and CFM56-3/5 and V2500 series engines for sale or lease.

Working closely with our MRO businesses, we deliver assets to meet all international regulatory standards.

Luxembourg: Delegate full project management to Vallair’s technical experts. The asset management services provided are particularly suited to lessors and smaller airlines that may not have the necessary skills in-house to professionally manage their fleets. Vallair’s flexible and dedicated team also supports legal, commercial, and material management, delivering unique turnkey solutions for customers seeing the reassurance of an experienced one-stop-shop solution.

Airworthiness & Records Reviews: Pre-purchase records inspections, delivery support, export/import COA processes, airworthiness management, collaboration with the respected aviation authorities etc.

Systems & Structures: Modifications and repairs such as weight upgrades, CPDLC compliance, lower deck CLS installation, LoV extension etc.

Engine Repair Management: Proven expertise in CFM56, V2500 and APUs from pre-purchase inspection to full overhaul management.

Cargo Conversions: Day to day management with conversions centres to provide on-time and on-budget delivery of converted aircraft to customers.

Luxembourg: Vallair is a regulated CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation), and can take responsibility for ensuring your aircraft is airworthy and complies with technical conditions at all times. We can provide transitional and operational EASA approved CAMO services for your Airbus A330-200/300 (Approval No: LU.CAMO.03).

Châteauroux: Vallair is a leading independent provider of teardown services and our 11,000 sq.m. facility is co-located with our aerostructure shop and engine bays in Châteauroux. We have the capacity to dismantle twelve narrowbody aircraft per year.

Our highly skilled team store and manage parts for maximum efficiency and asset value realisation.

Vallair has been an integral player in the aircraft teardown and recycling sector for many years and is one of the founding members of AFRA (Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association) which has now become the standard for aircraft disassembly and aircraft materials recycling.

Materials removed from the aircraft are certified as recyclable or non-recyclable by our partner Veolia (ISO 1400, 9001 and 45001 certified) and the recycling process is conducted in accordance with the AFRA requirement.

Luxembourg: Vallair ASSETS provides turnkey solutions for the sourcing of feedstock, cargo conversion and customisation process, plus the leasing and trading of converted aircraft. Our experienced team sources optimal conversion narrow and widebody candidates, including Boeing 737 Classics, and A321s, working with a network of global partners to deliver freighters for ACMI, cargo charter operators, integrators, lessors, and e-commerce providers. In fact, Vallair was the launch customer for the A321P2F.

Châteauroux: Our dedicated unit has been an important catalyst for the A330-300 E Class conversion. Designed to bridge the gap while operators currently wait five years or more for full freighter conversion slots. Vallair’s E Class solution means that loading is not done on pallets or containers but uses a conveyor that fits inside the cargo hold to efficiently load and distribute individual parcels instead. This proven concept expedites the process and reduces turnaround times considerably. Aircraft can easily be converted back to PAX configuration, or transformed into a freighter with a large cargo door in future. It is a complementary alternative solution to the traditional freighter conversion, not a replacement.

Vallair’s hangar can accommodate two A330 aircraft, or one A330 and up to three A321s, at any one time. This affords the capability to perform both wide and narrowbody maintenance, and offer a ‘Swiss-knife’ approach with tailored solutions using all of its capabilities on site. These include maintenance, paint, engine shop, aerostructure repairs, conversion, teardown and component support.
