TARMAC Aerosave successfully completed the reactivation of the last Airbus A380 of Etihad Airways at its base in Teruel, Spain, on December 12, 2024. This milestone marks the conclusion of a seven-year collaboration between the two companies, which included the delivery of more than 30 aircraft of various models.
During this partnership, TARMAC Aerosave managed the reactivation of 10 Airbus A380s in the past two years, as well as other models such as the Airbus A340, A330F, A330-200, A330-300, and Boeing 777.
The reactivation of the last A380 in Teruel highlights the company’s technical and operational expertise in maintaining and reactivating wide-body aircraft. The project director emphasized the excellent performance of the teams in Teruel and the strong collaboration with Etihad Airways, which now operates 7 «superjumbo» aircraft in service.
The Abu Dhabi-based airline uses the aircraft to operate flights to Paris/Charles de Gaulle (CDG), New York (JFK), and, starting in February, Singapore (SIN) with a daily flight, and to London/Heathrow (LHR) with two daily flights.
Looking ahead, TARMAC Aerosave will continue reactivating high-capacity aircraft. Its base in Tarbes, France, is preparing for the reactivation of another two Airbus A380s previously operated by Air France, confirming the growing demand among airlines.
In the context of post-pandemic recovery, the return of aircraft like the A380 to active fleets reflects the rising demand for long-haul flights. The ability of companies like TARMAC Aerosave to carry out reactivations efficiently and safely is crucial for airlines aiming to meet the increase in air travel.
