Welcome

VRS Aero manages end-of-life aircraft, which our highly skilled mechanics carefully disassemble. The removed parts are then placed in inventory,  recertified and returned to the market. We are the only company that handles the entire supply chain for aircraft disassembly and dismantling. 

• We buy end-of-life aircraft
• We disassemble at the location
• We sell aircraft parts

 We make the difference with our core values. They reflect our culture and are important for the identity of VRS Aero. 

 Being the best

The aircraft decommissioning process comprises the retirement of an aging aircraft from operational service, storage for potential aircraft re-use, disassembly and dismantling of the aircraft, and recycling of aircraft materials and parts in the secondary market. If undertaken in a timely and appropriate manner, decommissioning can allow recovery of a good residual value from re-used parts and recycled materials. 

 Today, more than 700 aircraft are retired each year. This number is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. 

While around 90% of aircraft parts can be re-used or recycled, most airlines and aircraft owners have limited experience in managing aircraft decommissioning as a controlled process.

• 15,000 commercial aircraft were retired from 1980 to 2015
  
• Once an aircraft is stored, it remains in storage for an average of 3.5 years
  
• The average retirement age of a freighter aircraft is 32.5 years and for a passenger aircraft 25.1 years 

VRS Aero has been working with a multi-stakeholder group to evaluate and formulate best practices in the area of aircraft decommissioning. VRS Aero will work with various stakeholder groups to transmit expert knowledge in operational, economic, regulatory, environmental and safety aspects as well as a “big picture” of the growing global market of aircraft decommissioning, dismantling and recycling.

With the help of VRS Aero, the timing and process of decommissioning aging aircraft can be optimized, avoiding or minimizing safety and environmental risks.

• Optimize the timing of retirement of aging aircraft
  
• Make a well-founded selection of storage or disassembly facilities and select the right contractual arrangements
  
• Plan suitable quality, safety and environmental management of the aircraft decommissioning process
  
• Optimize the realization of residual value from aircraft decommissioning

• Airlines and other aircraft owners and operators planning to decommission aging aircraft
  
• Aircraft maintenance companies, general recycling companies and eco-business developers wishing to expand into the aircraft dismantling and recycling business
  
• Any other relevant stakeholders, including authorities and governmental agencies, needing support for getting involved in the processes of aircraft retirement, disassembly, dismantling and recycling
