This marks the first time an A320neo aircraft has been disassembled. The company’s subsidiary, Ecube, will conduct the teardowns, it said in a news release.
The aircraft type first flew in 2014, with nearly 4,000 in service worldwide. Unical did not provide a specific number of A320neos planned for teardown but told FlightGlobal the number was in the “double digits.”
Another company called AerFin is also slated to part out four A320neo aircraft.
“Unical is accelerating the availability of next-gen components to the market and helping reduce turnaround times for critical maintenance,” the company stated in the release.
Photos posted to Unical’s website show a Go First A320neo, an Indian airline that ceased operations in 2023. Around 50 aircraft previously belonged to the carrier and are now in storage, per Cirium Fleet Analyzer data.
