VAS Aero Services to Acquire 17 Additional Airbus A320s

Our Bureau - : Aug 1, 2024 - : 2:27 am

VAS Aero Services has announced the acquisition of an additional 17 Airbus A320 airframes for teardown and Used Serviceable Material (USM) parts redistribution, bringing the total number of A320s acquired in the past six months to 23. This move is part of the company’s strategy to meet the growing demand for critical A320 parts.

Tommy Hughes, CEO of VAS, stated, “This announcement underscores the valued role VAS plays in the aviation industry, from managing the end-of-life dismantlement of aircraft to providing new life for their salvageable USM parts through our marketing and re-distribution services.”

“Airlines and lessors look to us for turnkey retirement solutions that enable them to realise the maximum value of their end-of-service aircraft. Because we have access to these aircraft and the residual parts inventory, VAS is the go-to source for hundreds of thousands of USM parts for other operators needing vital material to keep their existing aircraft flying,” he added.

VAS will oversee the dismantling of the North America-based aircraft at various locations in the United States over the next 12 to 18 months. This schedule aims to address the shortage of critical parts for the global A320 fleet. The harvested USM parts and assemblies will be marketed through VAS’s global aviation aftermarket supply network, as well as Airbus and Satair customer support channels, to fulfil routine and urgent spares requirements.
