Good times ahead for the scrap and spares businesses...
How much of the 380 parts and components can be effectively used on other types without significant modification? Must be plenty, no?
Not much component interchangeability between A380 and other fleets. Mostly Avionics and Electrical unit.
As regards "Good Times" for the spares business, speaking as someone that works in this area, it's not necessarily so. More aircraft parked equals more aircraft for teardown, which means lower Buy price for aircraft. Countering that overall demand for spares reduction equals reduction in Inventory realisable value. It can be a vicious circle. Main losers will be the OEM Component manufacturers, More spares and surplus availability means less "New Sales", Less flying equals less component repairs revenue.
