    EirTrade Aviation, a Dublin-based aviation asset management and trading company, will manage the dismantling and consignment of the first two Boeing 787 to be permanently retired from commercial service. In 2019, the company was involved in the scrapping of the first retired Airbus A380.

    These are 787-8s with registration numbers LN-LNA (MSN 35304) and LN-LNB (MSN 35305), which operated for Norwegian Air Shuttle and have been in storage since 2019. As reported by EirTrade, both aircraft will be disassembled simultaneously. Their parts would be available for marketing as spare parts to other operators by the end of the first quarter of 2023.

    «Our targeted relationships with airlines, MROs and OEMs on the 787 platform were crucial to securing this project and maximising the value of the two aircraft», said Lee Carey, VP Asset Management at EirTrade.

    More spare components available

    The Dreamliner began commercial operation in 2011. As this is the first time that two of them will be scrapped, the aircraft will provide usable material for other airplanes of the type, which is in high demand in today’s market. In that sense, the work will allow other companies and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) service providers to access parts at reduced prices.

    The dismantling will be carried out at EirTrade’s facility in Prestwick, Scotland. Parts will then be stored in Ireland. The company will manage the asset inventory with a view to selling, leasing or trading the material to other interested parties.
