More Valuable in Pieces: Why Nearly New Boeing 787s Are Being Parted Out
Several young Boeing 787 Dreamliners are being dismantled for components because lessors find it more profitable to sell the parts individually. High-demand items, particularly the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and GE GEnx engines, are a primary driver of this economic decision. Many of these aircraft previously flew for airlines like Norwegian and Bamboo Airways, which underwent financial restructuring or ceased long-haul operations. This trend highlights a strong and lucrative aftermarket for 787 components, fueled by the maintenance needs of the global fleet.
