AELS starts aircraft disassembly at Business Park Aviolanda
AELS (Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions (www.aels.nl)) has started the disassembly and dismantling of a Boeing 737-500 at Aviolanda. It's the first aircraft that is being recycled by AELS at Woensdrecht Airport, Business Park Aviolanda. AELS and Aviolanda have signed a long term agreement to provide this new service at Woensdrecht airport as part of the "one-stop-shop" principle. AELS will work in cooperation with Fokker Services (www.fokkerservices.nl), Aviolanda Business Park and Rewin to develop this service further.
The new agreement will provide aircraft owners of aircraft with a size up to Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737 series with a perfect location for their (older) aircraft. Due to the fact that Fokker Services is also located at this airport aircraft owners can choose each possible scenario for their asset. After landing Fokker Services can provide parking MRO to sustain aircraft value. After a parking period either Fokker Services will re-activate the aircraft, with or without a cabin upgrade, paint the aircraft or even give it a VIP interior or AELS will recycle the aircraft, truly a one-stop-shop environment for aircraft owners and operators.
Friday the 2nd of December the start of the cooperation was officially launched during visit to Aviolanda of executive Counselor of the Province of North-Brabant, Mr. De Boer.
