Sourcing for decommissioned Airplanes

[blueyeshk]

I want to identify aircrafts in Thailand or elsewhere in Asia which are up for recycling. We would scrap it dismantle it on site, take over the logistic part and recycle the scrap material in Europe. The whole process is fully certified. If you know of medium or big sized planes standing in hangers or on airfield or are a person in charge for fleet management please contact me by pm.

I wouldn't mind putting a narrow body jet int he backyard, this kids can make a cubby house int he cockpit and make a footy room down the back.

Take a look at the Thai Airways fleet at Suvarnabhumi. Most are them are ready for the scrap yard.

I weould have to disagree. Although many are very old they are well maintained. If you want to find scrap in the area visit Philippine Airlines!

[blueyeshk]

It's a serious post! Thank you for the hint with the Philippines even it is right this market we already work with and I would like to evaluate via this forum the opportunities for Thailand / Myanmar. So please if you have some serious ideas or connections sent me a pm and we take it from there.

Last time I flew into HCMC there were several old VN airline planes looking like they had been parked there for many years waiting for disposal.

One ATR in koh samui.

Hello Dom,

Thank you for your response. Do you know anything about the aircraft?

Ownership or such information would be helpful.

Thank you and a happy Sunday

[dom samui]

There a thread on it on thaivisa local forum , look for it. The plane crashed two years ago i think, and was still at the end of the airport few months ago . But may be moved to south island if i remember. Hope it helps. You can ask help on the samui forum. Have a nice sunday too.

Two ex,Thai Air 747 parked at Phitsanulok airport.

Have been there a while engines removed.

Maybe contact the airport.

Thank you Hedgehog for the helpful reply. If somebody is directly in charge of such aircrafts or knows somebody who is please sent me a private message for a more detailed exchange of information and contact details.

Maybe offering a commission would help?

@sayonarax

Don't worry about that.

Several years ago, the Govt. bus route from Bangkok to Pattaya used to pass a scrapyard with several Vietnam era cargo aircraft hulks as well as a C-47 0r two. I believe it was on the outskirts of Sri Ratcha.

New highway connections have changed the route and I no longer see them.

There are also a few aircraft hulks in industrial yards along the left side of the Bangkok_Trad Highway, outbound....forget where though.

[Jangot]

Are you looking to part out the aircraft - i.e. recycle components, or just break them for the scrap metal value?

[blueyeshk]

Can talk about different scenarios, stating from parking, extraction or end of life management to finally recycling procedere.

Also, Udon Thani airport has a very old 747 parked for years. Not sure if it is still used for training? I don't have any contacts for the airport, sorry.

Hi, I have seen a number of aircrafts parked at the Don Muang Airport. they have been there for a while and I am pretty sure they are de commissioned. I don't know who you have to contact but it could be the AIrport Authoruty of Thailand. Worth a visit to Don Muang airport i would think.

Good Luck

I think the 747 at Phitsanolouk are from Orient Thai. There was some news of them not paying parking fees and have been some parts taken off them. I think another at a northern airport too.

Also heard of some spitfires buried in Burma somewhere........

Thank you bunk.

100 tons is the minimum of an project/location.
