APOC Aviation, a European leasing, trading and aircraft part-out specialist, has acquired a CF34-10E engine for teardown with all USM (Used serviceable material) available for sale or exchange opportunities.
The engine was most recently operated by Kenya Airways and will be dismantled in Europe, with parts located at APOC’s warehouse close to Schiphol, the main international airport of the Netherlands.
According to Bruce Ansell, Technical Manager – Engines Division at APOC, the engine expands APOC’s engine material base, saying:
“We currently have two V2500-A5 recently torn down, the CF34 will extend our market into this popular engine variant. We are actively looking for further opportunities for CFM (Commercial Fan Motor) teardown engines to meet customer demand from airlines and traders.”
The GE CF34-10E engine powers the Embraer E190/E195 regional jets and the larger Embraer Lineage 1000 business jet, offering around 20,000 pounds of thrust for these popular aircraft. It’s known for reliability and fuel efficiency, making it a mainstay in regional aviation for dependable performance on shorter routes.
Aircraft part-out, also known as Aircraft recycling, is the process of scrapping and disassembling retired aircraft and re-purposing their parts as spare parts or scrap. USMs undergo rigorous inspections and repairs and offer cost-effective solutions without compromising quality.
Companies like APOC Aviation lease and trade in major engine assets, landing gears and LRUs (Line Replaceable Unit), to offer efficient maintenance and repair operations on aircraft.
