Chandler – October 28, 2026 -- AvAir has signed a long-term aircraft asset management agreement with China's XAero, starting with the teardown and material remarketing of three USA-based commercial aircraft.

AvAir takes over monetization and sales of material from three teardowns

The initial aircraft include Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737NG assets. AvAir will manage inventory monetization, repair strategy, global sales and distribution of the Used Serviceable Material (USM) harvested from them. Serviceable rotable and expendable inventory will be offered to airlines, MROs, leasing companies and aviation suppliers.

The aircraft are expected to enter teardown and material recovery over the coming months. Inventory will then be sold through AvAir's global channels.

XAero brings a track record of more than 100 managed aircraft

XAero, which works with Xiamen Airlease, provides engine leasing, aircraft and engine teardown, recycling, asset disposal, engine management and parts distribution across Asia and other international markets. It is expanding overseas through its recently established XAero Singapore and XAero USA entities, said Paul Nation, Managing Director Overseas Business. He cited AvAir's experience in consignment stock management and repair management, plus its North American and global sales force.

Both companies plan to expand beyond the first three aircraft

The companies describe the deal as the first phase of a relationship aimed at maximizing aircraft residual value and increasing the availability of high-quality USM. AvAir President Brandon Wesson called it "the beginning of a broader long-term strategic relationship" and said the two will keep evaluating additional aircraft and asset management opportunities.

The partnership targets airlines and lessors seeking specialized partners to move aging aircraft from active service into component recovery and remarketing, as fleets age and maintenance costs rise.
