A320, B737 & MD-80 Aircraft Teardown and Engineering
At NEDAVION, aircraft teardown and engineering are executed as structured asset recovery programs, not dismantling exercises. Our teardown operations focus on A320, B737, and MD-80 aircraft, where engineering control, documentation integrity, and realistic component recovery determine long-term asset value. Aircraft teardown projects are designed to maximise recoverable value across airframe structures, landing gear, engines, APUs, and rotables while maintaining traceability and regulatory alignment.
NEDAVION specialises in the procurement and acquisition of end-of-life narrowbody aircraft for teardown execution, including platforms powered by CFM56, V2500, and JT8D-217/219 engines. Powerplant removal is performed under managed conditions, supported by BSI at removal where applicable, correct preservation, and approved engine stands. Associated APUs such as Honeywell 131-9 / 131-9A / 131-9B and APS2000 / APS3200 units are removed and assessed using conservative technical criteria to preserve downstream usability and market acceptance.
Aircraft teardowns are executed at specialised facilities or on-site locations, depending on project scope, access, and logistics constraints. Engineering oversight ensures controlled removal sequences, component protection, and documentation continuity. This approach supports predictable distribution outcomes and reduces downstream technical findings compared to uncontrolled dismantling practices.
In addition to NEDAVION-owned teardown projects, the company supports engineered teardown and asset recovery programs for third-party asset owners, including operators, lessors, banks, and insolvency administrators. Projects may include on-site aircraft recovery, component harvesting, engine and APU removal, storage coordination, and structured asset disposition planning, allowing stakeholders to unlock value from grounded or surplus aircraft efficiently.
Teardown engineering is frequently integrated with engine inspections, borescope assessments, LLP valuation, documentation reconstruction, and parts distribution planning, enabling multiple exit strategies to be evaluated from a single asset position. This allows asset owners to determine whether return-to-service, part-out, or hybrid recovery strategies provide the strongest outcome.
Through disciplined engineering execution, conservative technical assessment, and direct asset control, NEDAVION delivers aircraft teardown programs that support sustainable asset utilisation, transparent material availability, and long-term aftermarket credibility across A320, B737, and MD-80 fleets.
