This initiative highlights the company’s dedication to sustainable aviation and the circular economy.
Announced at the beginning of 2022, Airbus has finally inaugurated its first dedicated Aircraft Lifecycle Services Centre (ALSC) in Chengdu, China. The facility is a testament to the collaborative efforts between Airbus, Tarmac Aerosave, the city of Chengdu, and Satair, an Airbus company. It is also expected to revolutionize how aircraft are managed throughout their lifecycle, encompassing a comprehensive range of services from parking and storage to maintenance, upgrades, conversions, dismantling, and recycling.
Two years ago, this announcement came amid expectations of increased aircraft phase-outs in China over the next two decades and growing competition from domestic manufacturers like COMAC, challenging Airbus and Boeing’s dominance in the Chinese market. This initiative is part of Airbus’s broader strategy to enhance efficiency, cut costs, and grow its global footprint, including new assembly lines, recruiting 13,000 new employees worldwide, underlining its commitment to scaling operations and innovation.
