MD-82 Aircraft Procured and Teardown – MSN 53230 | LZ-LDJ

MSN 53230, registered as LZ-LDJ, 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, following retirement from commercial service.

At the time of removal, the aircraft was configured with JT8D-217C engines and equipped with a GTCP85-98DC APU, consistent with MD-82 operational standards. The configuration and component condition supported controlled disassembly and redistribution of serviceable material into the active MD-80 aftermarket.

Ownership and teardown execution
Following procurement, MSN 53230 was inducted into a structured part-out program. The aircraft was dismantled on site at Sofia Airport, with teardown activities executed around the beginning of February 2024. Disassembly and component removal were carried out under controlled conditions, with full traceability preserved throughout the teardown process.

Powerplant configuration (as removed):
JT8D-217C Engines
• Engine Serial Number: 725922
• Engine Serial Number: 726990

APU configuration (as removed):
GTCP85-98DC
• APU Serial Number: P-458C

All recoverable components were removed, identified, documented, and processed in accordance with standard aviation asset management and traceability practices. The aircraft served as a source of serviceable engines, APU, rotables, avionics, and airframe components suitable for continued operation within the global MD-80 fleet.

MSN 53230 (LZ-LDJ) forms part of NEDAVION Aerospace B.V.’s documented aircraft asset portfolio, reflecting direct, ownership-driven teardown activity rather than brokerage or third-party redistribution. Historical records relating to this aircraft remain available for reference by operators, MROs, and counterparties requiring confirmation of provenance, configuration, or component traceability.
