Global Aircraft Parts Market Sees Major Consolidation Move
Airbus subsidiary Satair has finalized the acquisition of US aircraft parts giant Unical Aviation and disassembly provider ecube Solutions. The move brings together global leading companies working in Used Serviceable Material (USM) and aircraft lifecycle solutions markets. Unical’s extensive inventory and distribution network, combined with ecube’s disassembly and storage capabilities, will enhance Satair’s existing USM expertise. The acquisition is expected to provide better parts availability and a simpler way to manage an aircraft’s full lifecycle for customers. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
