Transavia shows how aircraft is recycled
Transavia, in collaboration with Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions (AELS), shares a unique behind-the-scenes look at the recycling process of a phased-out Boeing 737. The first episode can now be viewed on Transavia's LinkedIn page .
The first episode shows how the plane flew to Twente Airport on November 5. Aircraft End-of-Life Solutions (AELS), a leading company in aircraft recycling, will dismantle the plane. Usable parts will be removed and brought to the market to get a new life through reuse or recycling. The remainder will be processed as much as possible with the aim of minimizing waste as much as possible. This is in line with Transavia's ambition to produce 80% less residual waste by 2030.

Fleet renewal
Transavia is investing in new and more modern Airbus aircraft. These aircraft are quieter and more economical. In the coming years, all Boeing 737s will be replaced by Airbus.
