Marana Aerospace Solutions officials have announced that the company has been selected to provide comprehensive end-of-life services for two Boeing 757 aircraft that are being retired from service. As a founding member of the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association, the facility has more than 30 years of experience in controlled engine and parts removal, inspection, certification, and overhaul, as well as materials salvage and recycling, hazardous waste reclamation, and hull disposal. The Boeing 757s will be the seventh aircraft type to be dismantled in the last 12 months at the 1,200 acre facility.
"We are very pleased to able to further expand our breadth of experience in the dismantling of commercial aircraft, and we expect to make an announcement regarding an additional type very shortly," says Colin Buxton, vice president of sales and marketing. "We emphasize the term 'dismantling' over 'teardown' because that it what our team of specialists do."
Situated in the desert just north of Tucson, Ariz., the company is also internationally recognized as a provider of maintenance, repair and component overhaul services, painting, and customized storage programs.
Privately owned and operated, Marana Aerospace Solutions is a Federal Aviation Administration Approved FAR Part 145 Repair Station with a FAA Class IV Airframe Rating, is ISO 9001-2008 registered, and holds numerous international maintenance certifications including EASA
