AerFin and National Air Cargo strengthen logistics partnership to support aircraft teardown operations

AerFin has agreed a new partnership with National Air Cargo to support the next phase of its teardown operations, strengthening the movement of material between Marana and Miami.

The agreement focuses on delivering a more efficient, joined-up logistics flow – ensuring components are transferred quickly, securely and with the oversight needed to maximise value at every stage of the lifecycle. Alongside this, the partnership reflects a growing reciprocal relationship, with AerFin also supporting National’s operations and working together to develop opportunities in 777 material.

The relationship between the two businesses began in 2024 and has continued to build momentum. Since then, both sides have identified opportunities to collaborate more closely, aligning their respective capabilities to deliver practical, commercial outcomes.

This progress was underlined last week, when Petra Titze and Carlton Evans attended the launch of National’s new 777 as guests of the airline at Boeing. The milestone reflects both the strength of the partnership to date and the shared ambition to expand it further.

By aligning operational expertise with a proven logistics network, the partnership supports the seamless transition of assets through dismantling, transport and onward use. AerFin will continue to work with its existing partners across other areas of the programme, maintaining a flexible, multi-partner approach designed to deliver the best outcome for customers.

Alan White, Chief Growth Officer, National Air Cargo, added:

Our relationship with AerFin has grown organically, beginning with close collaboration on materials purchasing and now extending into a more integrated logistics partnership. By combining AerFin’s technical expertise with National’s global logistics capabilities, we are well-positioned to support complex aircraft teardown programmes and expand into new opportunities, including Boeing 747 material solutions.

The two businesses also plan to collaborate on joint communications following completion of the maintenance phase, sharing progress and insights through their respective media channels.

This partnership marks another step forward in AerFin’s commitment to keeping assets moving efficiently, extending the life of aircraft components, and delivering reliable outcomes for customers worldwide.
