Unical Aviation starts industry’s first Airbus A320neo disassembly program

Unical Aviation has announced the purchase of a fleet of Airbus A320neo airframes for the launch of the industry’s first disassembly program for neo-family aircraft. 

In a press release, published on April 1, 2025, Unical Aviation stated that its subsidiary ecube, a company specializing in aircraft storage, disassembly and transition services, will handle the disassembly operations for the aircraft, with deliveries starting in April 2025. 

This program represents “a major step” in Unical’s strategy to expand next-generation aftermarket material availability for the growing A320neo fleet, according to the press release. 

“As the first to launch a disassembly effort on A320neo aircraft, Unical is staying ahead of the curve to meet the evolving needs of our airline and MRO customers,” said David Dicken, EVP of Assets at Unical Aviation. “These assets will soon be transformed into high-demand material to support operators worldwide with cost-effective, timely aftermarket solutions.” 

The A320neo family is now one of the most popular choices in commercial aviation, and demand for quality, serviceable material is growing rapidly. 

Unical said by acquiring and disassembling these airframes, it is “accelerating the availability of next-gen components to the market and helping reduce turnaround times for critical maintenance.” The post Unical Aviation starts industry’s first Airbus A320neo disassembly program appeared first on AeroTime.
