AerFin has reached another major milestone in its A320neo programme with the teardown of eight aircraft across France and the Philippines. The company has removed more than 9,000 high-demand components, now positioned across AerFin’s global warehousing network to support customers in EMEA, APAC and the Americas. With inventory already available in Newport, Gatwick, Singapore and Miami, operators, lessors and asset owners can access quality-assured material closer to where they operate. Each A320neo teardown has produced between 1,200 and 1,400 serviceable components, including major assets now ready for sale and exchange. Alongside major structural assemblies, nacelles, APUs and landing gears, AerFin continues to see strong demand for rotables and consumables moving through the network. AerFin has secured additional A320neo aircraft, now entering the onboarding and disassembly phase, further strengthening our inventory pipeline. The company also has a growing portfolio of fresh-from-shop PW1000 GTF engines available for lease or sale. The A320neo fleet continues to grow at pace, while pressure on OEM supply chains remains a challenge across the industry. AerFin’s approach helps customers respond with confidence, turning constraints into practical, reliable solutions through smart recovery, circularity and strategic material support. It’s a clear example of how technical expertise, coordinated teardowns and global logistics can return material to the market quickly and efficiently. Magnetic MRO expands Pratt & Whitney engine scope for A320neos Magnetic MRO has extended its Pratt & Whitney maintenance approval, widening its certified scope to cover a broader range of PW1000G-series engines powering Airbus A320neo-family aircraft. The extension enables Magnetic MRO to support a broader range of A320neo operators across Europe, particularly airlines operating mixed-engine fleets. The expanded approval allows operators to consolidate a wider range of maintenance requirements with a single provider, supporting more efficient planning and reduced coordination effort. Pratt & Whitney PW1000G-series engines are among the most widely operated powerplants on the A320neo family across Europe, making broad maintenance support capabilities increasingly important for operators seeking flexibility and efficient fleet planning. “This enhanced capability allows us to support a substantial and growing segment of the regional fleet,” says Marko Männiste, Managing Director of Magnetic MRO. “For customers, this means access to a broader range of maintenance services from a single provider, helping simplify fleet support and reduce operational complexity.” From a quality standpoint, the extension required no significant changes to existing processes – a point that reflects well on the maturity of the system already in place. “The approval extension showed that our existing system was already strong enough to support the increased scope,” says Martti Ärmpalu, Head of Group Quality at Magnetic Group. “The authority audit confirmed that both our processes and our people were well prepared.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Sally Passey at [email protected]
