Supporting Tarmac Aerosave in its search for green funding
The Consulting teams at SUEZ are supporting Tarmac Aerosave as it adjusts the size of its business. A French industrial group providing aeronautical services, created by Airbus, SUEZ and Safran, Tarmac Aerosave manages the whole life cycle of an aircraft and its engines, from storage and maintenance to dismantling and recycling.
The mission
Accelerating aircraft dismantling in the context of the pandemic
The aeronautical industry was heavily affected by the pandemic – the global aircraft fleet was grounded for many long months, leading to unprecedented financial losses and a rise in the need for dismantling.
With nearly 230 aircraft at its three sites in southern France and Spain (up from 150 in 2019), Tarmac Aerosave accelerated the research it was already doing to review its operating methods in order to respond better to demand for aircraft disassembly, secure its processes and adjust the size of its business accordingly.
Tarmac Aerosave called on SUEZ Consulting and its partner BatirRIM to help industrialise its dismantling process.

Our results
80% funding for the first industrial phase
SUEZ Consulting coordinated the launch of the project and the search for funding and partners. The teams also provided project client support with the dismantling process and the management of secondary raw material flows, while managing the regulatory aspects applying to an installation classified for environmental protection (ICPE).
After a year of studies, partners were identified and funding streams located. A lean management audit was also organised with the OPEO consultancy firm.
This support led to funding from central government and the Occitanie region for the first industrial design phase, covering 80% of the investment required.
Investigations began with the aim of defining an improved organisation, guiding investment decisions and ensuring the feasibility of scaling up to an industrial level.
