Emirates to Partner with Falcon Aircraft Recycling to Upcycle and Recycle a Retired A380 Aircraft in UAE
In November 2021, Emirates signed a contract with UAE-based Falcon Aircraft Recycling where its first retired A380 aircraft will be upcycled and recycled thus decreasing the environmental impact of the deconstruction process and reducing landfill waste. The repurposing activities and materials recovery will be conducted in the UAE, the airline’s home base. Falcon Aircraft Recycling will be designing and manufacturing retail items and unique collectibles from the parts and materials removed from the aircraft with help from Wings Craft, another UAE-based firm that specializes in producing custom furniture and merchandise from aircraft materials. These items will be launched for sale in phases over the coming months.

Rising Number of Retired Commercial Aircrafts and Improved Scrapping Processes to Aid Market Augmentation
According to the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA), approximately 12,000 commercial aircrafts would retire in next two decades. Additionally, commercial aircraft disassembly, dismantling and recycling domain has witnessed substantial developments in the recent years with adoption of advanced processes which can recycle nearly 80% of components. Systematic disassembly, smart shredding and several new cutting methods assist in the dismantling process and make it easier. Therefore, growing number of retiring aircrafts and improved scrapping process will propel market expansion in the upcoming years.
On the other hand, side effects of exposure to hazardous materials such as asbestos and bromo-tri-fluoro methane such as skin diseases and lung cancer will hinder industry growth.
Efforts to Increase Productivity by Industry Leaders to Boost Market Augmentation
The global market is fragmented with the presence of several providers such as Air Salvage International Ltd, Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions, Tramac Aerosave, Cavu Aerospace, Vallair, and China Aircraft Leasing Group holdings limited among others. These companies are focused on expanding their facilities and adopting advanced technologies to enhance their capabilities & productivity. For example, in March 2022, EirTrade Aviation, an asset trading company, expanded its dismantling capabilities to include engine dismantling.
