AELS spreads its wings
AELS is the first aircraft dismantling company that is offering services on two continents. AELS offers Base Dismantling services for the North-American market at Gander International Airport (CYQX) Newfoundland, Canada.
The aircraft dismantling services at Gander are offered in close cooperation with NFLD. Aerotechnologies. NFLD. Aerotechnologies is an MRO provider based at Gander International with many years of experience of several aircraft types. Gander International Airport is also very interesting for this business, due to the fact that there are no noise, size or weight restrictions. Runway 03-21 has a length of more than 10,000 feet. This means that even the oldest Chapter 1/ Stage 1 aircraft can fly to their final resting place at this airport. To underline this cooperation, an MOU is signed by NFLD. Aerotechnologies, the town of Gander and AELS.
The mission for this cooperation:
"AELS and NFLD. Aerotechnologies offer, in cooperation, aircraft dismantling services for the North-American market at Gander International Airport, sustaining the highest standards with respect to aircraft safety and the environment."
“The cooperation between AELS and NFLD. Aerotechnologies is a unique opportunity to improve our service portfolio. We believe that the AELS standard is one of the highest, as is ours; therefore we see a perfect fit. We are certain that this cooperation will become a great success.” According to Clinton Pelley, director of NFLD. Aerotechnologies.
“AELS was looking for a location to offer base dismantling for the North-American market. Gander International Airport is the perfect location. NFLD Aerotechnologies is a company with the right capabilities, and Gander International Airport an airport where all types of aircraft can land; a great mix.” According to Derk-Jan van Heerden, managing director, AELS.
