Reduce, Reuse and Recycle: Aircraft Disassembly for a More Sustainable Industry

This podcast from Aviation Maintenance Magazine explores the practice of aircraft disassembly and part-out as a sustainable solution in the aviation industry. The process involves dismantling retired or economically unviable aircraft to recover valuable components and parts. This not only provides a cost-effective source of spare parts for airlines and maintenance facilities but also extends the lifecycle of existing parts, reducing the need for new manufacturing. The podcast also highlights the environmental benefits of this practice, as it promotes recycling and reduces the overall carbon footprint of the aviation industry. Several companies within the aviation sector are featured, showcasing their expertise and contributions to the growing field of aircraft teardown and part-out.
