A formal agreement to develop and frame this industrial collaboration is
expected to be signed by the partners in mid-2022. The new centre is expected
to be operational by the end of 2023, subject to appropriate governmental
permissions.
The facility will provide sustainable solutions for managing the
complete aircraft lifespan, including disassembly and recycling.
Tarmac Aerosave will provide the project with 15 years of experience in
environmentally friendly aeroplane disposal. Satair, an Airbus company, will
buy ageing aircraft, sell and distribute the resultant used components,
completing the entire range of lifetime services. The structure will have a
surface area of 690,000 square metres and a storage capacity of 125 aircraft.
