Unical Aviation's Strategy to Keep Global Aircraft Fleets Flying

Unical Aviation has entered a transformative era following its 2024 acquisition of ecube Solutions, a global leader in aircraft storage, disassembly, and transition services. Under CEO Sharon Green’s leadership, the merger has strengthened Unical’s position as a premier Used Serviceable Material (USM) supplier, now serving over 90 countries with 90 million available parts. The partnership achieved an industry milestone by completing the world’s first Airbus A320neo fleet disassembly, addressing critical engine availability challenges. With ecube’s Diamond Level AFRA-accredited facilities across Arizona, Spain, and Wales, combined with Unical’s in-house MRO capabilities and 599,000 square foot Glendale facility, the company offers comprehensive lifecycle support. The collaboration has unlocked new opportunities in Asia-Pacific markets through blockchain-powered traceability initiatives with AFRA and CAAC, expected to launch in early 2026. Green’s 35-year industry expertise positions Unical uniquely to navigate evolving global tariffs and supply chain complexities while maintaining competitive advantage through programmatic aircraft acquisitions.
