Overview
- EirTrade said it acquired the two former Spirit A320neos with Chicago-based lessor RESIDCO for immediate disassembly.
- The aircraft are approximately four and three and a half years old, which EirTrade says makes them the youngest A320neos ever scrapped for parts.
- Disassembly will occur in Goodyear, Arizona, with harvested parts routed to EirTrade’s Dallas hub to serve aircraft-on-ground requests across North and South America.
- The deal includes four sets of in-demand LRU and BFE components from Pratt & Whitney PW1100 engines, according to EirTrade.
- EirTrade expects repaired components from the airframes to be available to the market by the end of the first quarter of 2026, as Spirit continues fleet reductions under bankruptcy protection begun in August 2025.
