APOC Aviation acquires A320-200 for teardown

The Netherlands, April 08, 2026: APOC Aviation, a trading and leasing specialist for aircraft parts, engines and landing gear has purchased MSN 4533 from FTAI for teardown. Most recently operated by Jetstar Pacific Airlines, this 15-year-old A320-200 airframe will be dismantled at the Tarmac Aerosave Toulouse-Francazal facility in France, in May.

“APOC is broadening its pool of mature, and newer assets designed to service a breadth of carriers from top-tier customers to those seeking parts for legacy equipment,” comments Craig Skilton, VP Components at APOC. “The new APOC exchange service will be launched this month with comprehensive stock from our recent A319 teardown activity in the UK and this new influx of in-demand components will further expand the inventory, following repair and re-certification.”

APOC’s primary customer base for components is aligned to the narrowbody sector, affirms Skilton, and market demand for USM remains buoyant. However, he also comments that the Company offers both widebody and narrowbody landing gear, as well as CFM56-3/5A/5B/7B and V2500-A5 engines, for exchange, lease, and parts services.

The deal with FTAI was co-ordinated by Karolis Jurkevičius, VP Landing Gear & Major Assets at APOC Aviation, who concludes, “We’re actively investing in and super-charging our disassembly programme. This is underpinned by solid financial support which is enabling us to make a step-change in our market offering. This exciting future is sustained by our growing team of experienced aviation specialists who are ready to embrace new challenges with energy, commitment and teamwork.”
