New teardown project
TDA has secured two additional A319s for part-out, MSN2184 and 2245 are currently due for disassembly by eCube in St.Athan, Wales. With this project, we count up to 24 A319 teardown projects since MSN1145 in 2016, all to ensure continuous supply to our end-users and MRO shops.
Teardown process
The disassembly process of MSN2245 has started. MSN2184 will follow afterwards. The majority of the high-demand components will be removed. A portion /part of these items will be evaluated for possible repairs or modifications.
The aircraft comes with some interesting items. MSN2245 and MSN2184 are both equipped with CIDS director units and ADSB-OUT. 2245’s APU also has significant green-time left since its last overhaul was in 2019 and has only accumulated less than 2,000 cycles since then.
The majority of the parts will be shipped to our warehouses directly, from where we shall serve the USM market. Some items will ship straight to the repair shop.
This historical milestone once again emphasizes the rapid growth of TDA, enabling us to offer the highest quality and configuration of components on the market. We will continue to acquire younger aircraft for teardown, also differentiating us from the competition at this level.

Parts enquiry and special requirements
Since we are amid teardown, it’s currently possible to place requests for special parts such as cut off cockpits (for flight simulation purposes), complete fuselages (suitable for training and educational purposes), and more. All components harvested from this aircraft will be tagged as soon as possible for end-use purposes.
