AerFin, the aviation asset specialist which buys, sells, leases and repairs aircraft, engines and parts, has completed the purchase and teardown of one of the largest twin-engine passenger aircraft in the world, the B777-300ER, that has been retired by Japan Airlines.
Explaining the significance of this transaction, Simon Goodson, CEO of AerFin, said: “This transaction was a complex project where we combined our deep technical, commercial and operational capabilities with our partner to confidently and reliably retire the aircraft to our customer’s expectations.
“We all worked tirelessly to conduct the technical acceptance work in Japan, organise the ferry flight to the US and then efficiently tear down the airframe for its parts to be re-used. Our focus on bringing clarity to complex transactions such as this one further demonstrates our commitment to Asia Pacific and Japan specifically.”
