Description
Why would anyone dismantle an airliner that is only a few years old — especially when airlines are still waiting years for new aircraft?
In this video, we look at how the PW1100G engine problem affected young A320neos, why two engines could command more in monthly lease revenue than the aircraft carrying them, how the used aircraft-parts market works, and what actually happens when a modern airliner is dismantled.
