TARMAC Aerosave

TARMAC Aerosave is a specialised European service provider focused on the end-of-life stages of the aerospace value chain. The organisation manages large-scale sites dedicated to the storage, maintenance, and dismantling of commercial aircraft and engines. It operates as a transition point for assets between owners or as a final disposal facility, ensuring that airframes are managed in accordance with environmental regulations and safety standards. Headquartered at Tarbes-Lourdes-Pyrénées Airport, the company maintains additional facilities in Teruel and Toulouse-Francazal. Its customer base includes major aircraft lessors and global airlines seeking managed storage solutions or technical teardowns. The group is notably associated with Airbus and Safran, which were instrumental in its formation, and it regularly handles a wide variety of narrow-body and wide-body platforms including the Airbus A380 and various Boeing models. Prospective partners should verify the specific Part 145 maintenance approvals held at each individual site before commissioning work. It is also necessary to confirm the current slot availability for long-term storage, as capacity fluctuates based on global fleet demand. Buyers of salvaged parts should validate the traceability documentation and certification status of all components recovered during the recycling process.
