EirTrade Aviation, the Dublin-based global aviation asset management and trading company, continues to grow its operations at Knock, Ireland West Airport, with the achievement of three major milestones. These include the servicing agreement of four A330S, the addition of A330 Line Maintenance Approval, and the relocation of EirTrade’s AFRA-accredited engine disassembly facility.
EirTrade dismantles two A330 airframes following redelivery
Lee Carey, Chief Investment Officer, explains:
“Dismantling of the first two A330 airframes (MSN 602 & 607) following redelivery will complete in four weeks’ time, however EirTrade will remarket and lease the CF6-80E1 engines to monetise remaining green time. Once they are unserviceable, the engines will also be disassembled and the components sold to support EirTrade’s A330 customers.”
The inventory removed from the aircraft will be sold, leased and exchanged to support EirTrade’s A330 customer base.
Improved efficiency and Product offering for customers
At the same time, EirTrade has added EASA Part 145 line maintenance approval for the A330 (GE CF6), A330 (PW 4000), A330 (RR Trent 700) and A330neo (RR Trent 7000) to its capabilities. Lee Carey verified that the addition of the aircraft type will improve efficiency and the product offering for EirTrade’s customers.
Carey says:
“EirTrade is extremely active on the A330 platform and the ability to support our own assets from our facility in Ireland West Airport will streamline operations. Moreover, in accordance with demand, we are now able to support lessors and airlines with redelivery and parking onsite for our customers’ A330 aircraft.”
This latest approval builds on EirTrade’s existing maintenance capabilities for multiple Airbus and Boeing types, including the A320 family and 737 series.
In a commercial move to drive efficiency and improve costs, EirTrade has also relocated its engine disassembly facility to Knock. Services are now available at the new facility, providing support for: CFM56-3/-A5/-5B/-7B/-7BE engine types.
