Airbus has signed a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) with the city of Chengdu
and Tarmac Aerosave for the development of the first sustainable aircraft "life
cycle" service centre in the Shuangliu disctrict, Chengdu, China. This
agreement will cover a range of activities from aircraft parking and storage,
to maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling and recycling services for
various aircraft types, according to Shuangliu District Government.
"This is another concrete contribution to the aviation industry's quest for
sustainability, supporting the principle of a circular economy in line with
Airbus' purpose to pioneer sustainable aerospace. This unique centre will
support the expansion of Airbus' aviation services while enabling the
implementation of China's 'Green Industry' strategy," said Klaus Roewe, SVP
Airbus Customer Services.
George Xu, EVP and CEO of Airbus China also commented, "Aircraft phase-out in
China is forecast to grow exponentially over the next 20 years. Airbus is
committed to investing in the region and this one-stop shop - a first in China
and outside of Europe - will see Airbus well positioned on the Chinese aircraft
'second life' services market."
Airbus and partners plan to go ahead the project in 2022, this centre will be
running formally after passing related approvals.
Tarmac Aerosave will bring its 15 years of proven expertise in eco-efficient
aircraft dismantling to the project. Located in the same centre, Airbus
subsidiary Satair will acquire ageing aircraft, trade and distribute the
resulting used parts to complete the full scope of life cycle services. The
facility will cover a surface area of 690,000 square metres and a storage
capacity of 125 aircraft.
Airbus continues to deploy its sustainability roadmap for the aviation
industry, enabling the increased re-use of aircraft and the recycling of
materials and equipment.
