APOC Aviation purchases Boeing 737–700 airframes from lessor:
10 May 2019: APOC Aviation has acquired two Boeing 737-700 airframes from Infinity Transportation. Previously, MSN34303 and MSN20752 were in BBJ configuration operated by PrivateAir SA as such, both aircraft accumulated low flight cycles compared to commercial usage.
APOC will co-ordinate a well-organised remote teardown programme at two different locations in Germany. All parts will be sent back to APOC's warehouse that is close to Schiphol, in The Netherlands for evaluation and strategically selected for repair or overhaul.
"We are proud and pleased to conclude a smooth transaction with Infinity Aviation. This is the first time that APOC has chosen to part-out B737-700s as our primary expertise has rested with the Airbus A320 family to date. These airframes will enable us to broaden our inventory and cover 50 per cent of the global in-service fleet. As we bring these parts into our system our team will adjust to an active learning curve as we build our knowledge of the type and prepare APOC for future B737 acquisition opportunities."
APOC Aviation's development strategy is to solely concentrate on the most liquid aircraft types, operated by the largest number of operators and maintained by the most MROs. As the operations of the two most favoured aircraft types have continued worldwide indicates that the long-term demand for the parts, not only in today's market but also when more B737-800s and A321s are converted to freighters.
