ecube kick starts 2024 by celebrating its 400th aircraft disassembly

Aviation

The global leader in aircraft storage, disassembly and transition services has started the new year by reaching the momentous milestone of 400 aircraft disassemblies.

After recently welcoming the Airbus A319 aircraft to its St Athan facility, the disassembly team at ecube’s HQ commenced work on the project in January.

Ahead of the project starting, the aircraft was stored on site and went through numerous maintenance activities upon arrival, including engine inspections, MPA runs and removal.

Lee McConnellogue, CEO of ecube said: “We are delighted to be celebrating our 400th aircraft disassembly, to have had aircraft disassembled across three global locations contributing to this is a proud moment to really showcase how far we’ve come. It is important to remember that in addition to this achievement we are seeing exponential growth across our storage and transition capabilities, all of which support these disassemblies taking place.”

“Thanks of course goes to all our customers, all the airlines, lessors and parts companies that trust us to deliver every project.”

TDA, who chose ecube to disassemble the aircraft said:
“What an occasion, ecube’s 400th aircraft disassembly, we are proud to work with such a consistent and efficient team in ecube. When disassembling an aircraft, it’s vital that all parts are taken care of by a partner that specialises in the disassembly process, making sure the high-value components are identified and handled with care. Congratulations to the ecube team for reaching 400!”

Kevin VanDenBerg, Executive Vice President – Commercial & Asset Management of ACS who delivered the aircraft to ecube said:
“ACS has partnered with ecube for many years, and we are proud to have delivered their 400th aircraft. Our longstanding partnership with ecube reflects ACS’ commitment to reducing our footprint and we look forward to our partnership for many more years ahead.”

4 facts to celebrate the 400th aircraft disassembly:
