MD-82 Aircraft Procured and Teardown – MSN 49973 | LZ-LDP

MSN 49973, registered as LZ-LDP, is a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 aircraft formerly operated by European Air Charter. The aircraft was procured, legally transferred, and subsequently dismantled by NEDAVION Aerospace B.V. as part of its ownership-driven aircraft asset program.

At the time of removal from service, the aircraft was configured with JT8D series engines and equipped with a GTCP85-98DHF APU, supporting controlled disassembly and redistribution of serviceable material into the active MD-80 aftermarket.
