China Southern Boeing 787-8 Sell<\/h2>\n

China Southern mandates the sale of all aircraft and engines as a complete package, rejecting partial-fleet purchase proposals.<\/p>\n

Interested buyers must submit preliminary expressions of interest by November 25. The airline will distribute detailed technical specifications and aircraft condition reports to qualified buyers by November 30.<\/p>\n

The airline maintains operations of the larger Boeing 787-9 variant, indicating a potential fleet standardization strategy.<\/p>\n

China Southern Airlines has a fleet of 18 Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The airline maintains a diverse fleet and has over 650 aircraft.<\/p>\n

According to FlightConnections, China Southern Airlines maintains extensive network coverage, operating flights to 156 destinations within\u00a0China\u00a0<\/a>and connecting 78 international cities across 48 countries as of November 2024.<\/p>\n

Two 787 Scrapped<\/h2>\n

Two Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners, formerly operated by Norwegian Air Shuttle, are dismanted at Prestwick Airport near Glasgow, marking the first commercial retirement of the aircraft type.<\/p>\n

The aircraft, delivered in June and August 2013, represent unprecedented early retirement cases for the Dreamliner fleet, following only a Boeing test aircraft scrapped in 2018,\u00a0CNN\u00a0<\/a><\/em>reported.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

EirTrade, a Dublin-based aviation trading company, manages the dismantling operation. CEO Ken Fitzgibbon projects a three to four-month timeline for the complete process, targeting 95% recyclability of aircraft components.<\/p>\n

The timing aligns with increasing demand for 787 parts, as many operational aircraft approach their 12-year heavy maintenance checks. This maintenance milestone significantly influenced the decision to retire these aircraft, according to Lee Carey, VP of asset management at EirTrade.<\/p>\n

The dismantling process began with engine removal and defueling operations. Teams now follow a specific \u201charvest list\u201d targeting high-value components, which undergo repairs or overhaul before entering the global aviation parts market.<\/p>\n

EirTrade brings relevant experience from previous young widebody dismantling projects, including decade-old Airbus A380s from Singapore Airlines and Air France.<\/p>\n

This development follows other recent early retirements, including a 10-year-old VIP\u00a0Boeing 747<\/a>\u00a0with only 16 flights and several young Airbus A380s. However, aviation experts suggest these cases remain exceptions, with typical airliner service life spanning 20-25 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
