TARMAC AEROSAVE, Europe's leading aircraft storage and recycling company, based in Tarbes (France) and Teruel (Spain), has just been delivered of its 400th aircraft. At the MRO Europe 2016 Show in Amsterdam, 19-20 October 2016, this is the opportunity to get an update on the company's development. Major storage and hangar extension projects are continuing over the next two years.

Extension of French and Spanish facilities

After delivery of a new 3,000 m2 logistics building, in early 2016, and customer offices in Tarbes, TARMAC AEROSAVE continues to extend its facilities. In Teruel, the storage development work is now finished. Meanwhile, a new mid-haul hangar will be available in early 2017, a 5000 m2 logistics building and customer offices will be available at the end of 2017.

In Tarbes, new investment is underway, including a 7,500 m2 logistics building which will be available at the beginning of 2017, storage extensions able to accommodate twenty very wide-bodied aircraft by mid-2017 and a hangar for painting aircraft to accommodate very wide-bodied aircraft, including the A380, which will be operational at the end of 2017.

Eventually, TARMAC AEROSAVE will have four hangars on these two sites for extra wide-bodied jets, a hangar for medium aircraft, and 15,000 m2 of logistics hangars and aircraft storage for more than 250 wide-bodied jets.

Extending services

With Part-147 approval, TARMAC AEROSAVE has become a maintenance training organisation for all its sites. This means that it can deliver type ratings for Airbus A320, A330, A340 and Boeing B737-6/7/8/9 families, as well as mandatory training.

TARMAC AEROSAVE has also obtained EN-9120 approval involving the supply and import-export of aircraft spare parts and engines, with all related logistics.

With these new approvals, TARMAC AEROSAVE now has a full portfolio of services for all commercial aviation operators.
