The important increase in air traffic demonstrates the strength of aircraft transportation, which is today essential. 

Moreover, operating costs of ageing aircraft and the price of fuel are continuously increasing, therefore obliging aircraft owners and operators to take care about the future of their aircraft and the use of their ageing aircraft.

For long not taken into account, dismantling and recycling of end-of-life aircraft is now in front line. What becomes of the material contained in these wrecks ? How can one optimise the dismantling process ?

Abandoned aircraft alongside airport zones on in deserts, with superficial destruction is not longer acceptable.

A correct aircraft dismantling process, in secure and legal conditions, anticipating the evolution of the legal context in the environmental field, has now become a long term economic stake.

Initiated by Airbus and Sita France, TARMAC AEROSAVE (Tarbes Advanced Recycling & Maintenance Aircraft Company) is the first industrial company for the dismantling of end-of-life aircraft in an entirely environment-friendly manner.
