The B737-800 airframe was acquired by APOC through Dutch asset investment manager, Arena Aviation Capital
APOC Aviation recently announced its partnership with Willis Aviation Services Limited (“WASL”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Willis Lease Finance Corporation (“Willis Lease”) for APOC’s first part-out (teardown) project to take place at their Teesside Airport facility in the UK. The B737-800 airframe was acquired by APOC through the leading Dutch asset investment manager, Arena Aviation Capital. For the job, APOC has signed a framework agreement for this and future teardowns at Teesside Airport with the experienced end-of-life solutions provider, WASL.
Jasper van den Boogaard, VP Airframe Acquisition & Trading at APOC, said, “We were particularly interested in this airframe as our initial inspection showed the parts installed are perfect for our stock, most having come directly from the KLM/Air France B737-800 component pool. We highly value the services provided by WASL and their specialist part-out team. The project has run very smoothly from the start, and we are working closely with the team onsite. Our full involvement at all times means that our customers can benefit from acquiring parts directly from the project. We have completed several deals with Arena to date and it is always a pleasure doing business with them and their professional team. We look forward to continuing this positive relationship in the future.”
APOC announced to have ample stock readily available at their global hubs located in The Netherlands, Singapore, and Miami.
James Cobbold, Director Sales at Willis Lease said, “We are honored to support industry leaders like Arena and APOC and that they entrusted their asset with our Part 145 MRO services and dedicated disassembly team at our newly refurbished hangar. With our experienced and dedicated engineers along with APOC’s expertise and industry knowledge, the project has been a success, providing APOC with specific components when required.”

APOC is certified with the ASA-100 ASA Accreditation Program (ASAAP) which is a 36-month audit program based on the ASA-100 Standard. The standard was created to comply with the FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 00-56, the Voluntary Industry Distributor Accreditation Program. With secure and readily available funding, APOC’s strategy is to continually assess the marketplace for the right airframe acquisitions to add the youngest and most desirable components to their growing A320 and B737NG parts inventory.
