Ex-Change Parts has announced the acquisition of three parallel helicopter disassembly projects. The certified parts and components will be available for delivery in early Autumn of this year.
Göran Enström, Head of Business and Development at Ex-Change Parts, said: “This strategic move marks a significant expansion of our capabilities when it comes to certified used parts and components in the helicopter market, particularly in the light twin-engine sector.”
The acquisition of these helicopters follows Ex-Change Parts’ initiative to include light twin-engine aircraft in its portfolio. The company previously targeted heavy and medium twin-engine helicopters, such as the Dauphin, the AW139, and the Super Puma. This expansion comes from the company’s aim to meet diverse market demands.
The first project is the A109A Mk.II. This helicopter was previously used for VIP transportation and has an average of 30% remaining potential on the engine and major dynamic components.
The next is a BK117B1, previously used as an air ambulance by Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), with an average of 58% remaining dynamic component potential.
The third is an EC135P2. This aircraft has an average of 53% remaining potential and was formerly used for broadcasting services and VIP transportation.
Stefan Widén, Head of Stock Management at Ex-Change Parts, said: “This important work sets us apart from the competition and is performed using relevant technical documentation and in close cooperation with our extensive network of component shops, OEMs, and product experts.”
