BAS Acquires CFM56-5A Engine for Dismantling

BAS Acquires CFM56-5A Engine to Strengthen Part-Out Capabilities
Broward Aviation Services (BAS) has recently acquired a CFM56-5A engine for dismantling, with the disassembly process scheduled to conclude by the end of March. This strategic acquisition enhances BAS’s engine asset portfolio within a specialized market segment. The CFM56-5A engine shares significant parts commonality with the CFM56-5B and -7B variants, which power the Airbus A320 family and Boeing 737NG aircraft. Previously operated and maintained by Air Canada (ESN731680), the engine is currently being dismantled at BP Aero in Dallas, a process expected to take approximately four weeks.
The purchase comes amid growing challenges faced by competitors in sourcing high-demand engine parts, as supply chain disruptions continue to affect the aviation industry. By securing this engine, BAS aims to better serve its customers during a period marked by shortages and extended lead times for shop visits.
Strategic Partnerships and Market Positioning
Dennis Amaty, Co-Founder and President of BAS Group, confirmed that select life-limited parts (LLPs) from the engine are already being marketed, with immediate drop shipments planned to address urgent customer requirements. The remaining components will be stored in ‘as removed’ (AR) condition at BAS’s European hub, while certain parts will undergo repairs at Jet Air MRO, a BAS Group company based in Florida.
Anca Mihalache, Managing Director of AERO CARE and specialist engine adviser to BAS, highlighted the current difficulties buyers face in the engine market. She emphasized that, despite the challenges, the partnership between BAS and AERO CARE enables the development of a robust stock of high-demand assets. Mihalache noted that turnaround times for shop visits and parts shortages remain unusually high, and that the market appetite for CFM56-5A material is strong. She also stressed the importance of meticulous documentation for older engines, given evolving regulatory requirements, and noted that BAS maintains a targeted list of operators for this material due to its global scarcity and the continued on-wing time of these engines.
BAS and AERO CARE maintain an exclusive partnership covering engine management activities including sourcing, evaluation, part-out, overhaul, and sales. Over the past year, this collaboration has facilitated the transition of multiple assets, including another CFM56-5A engine and a -7B low-pressure turbine module. BAS supports the partnership through financing, warehousing, and logistics, underscoring its commitment to operational excellence and growth.
Amaty further emphasized that, backed by BAS Group’s secure funding and AERO CARE’s technical expertise, the company plans to expand its presence in the CFM56-5B and -7B market segments. This expansion is designed not only to increase inventory but also to provide comprehensive solutions for clients grappling with persistent supply chain challenges. By leveraging established relationships and cultivating new ones, BAS aims to reduce lead times and deliver quality parts at competitive prices.
The collaboration between BAS and AERO CARE is pivotal in navigating the complexities of the aviation parts industry. Their joint approach ensures compliance with evolving regulatory standards and positions BAS as a key player in the global aviation supply chain, prepared to meet the dynamic needs of customers with efficiency and reliability.
