EirTrade Aviation inaugural Boeing 787-8 programme

EirTrade Aviation announced it will manage the disassembly & consignment of the world’s first two Boeing 787-8s to be retired from commercial service.  First flown commercially in 2011, the 787-8 or Dreamliner, remains Boeing’s flagship widebody aircraft and, to date, has never been retired from commercial service. The two 10-year-old aircraft will be disassembled simultaneously with parts expected to be available in late Q1 2023. EirTrade Aviation CEO Ken Fitzgibbon said “As no B787s have been retired from commercial service to date, there is almost no USM market for this platform at the moment. We are entering into a specialist area and hope to become a market leader in the provision of USM for the platform which will enable the reduction of the cost of maintenance events for B787 aircraft owners.”
