Yesterday, Emirates Airlines announced a unique initiative at the global industry level, by signing a contract with Falcon Aircraft Recycling to recycle the first A380 (giant) aircraft, decommissioned in the airline’s fleet, which will greatly reduce the environmental impact of the operation. Dismantling, significantly reduces the amount of waste that goes to landfills.

Emirates Airlines stated in a statement that the comprehensive recycling and use process will take place within the country, which limits the environmental impact of the project, explaining that retired aircraft are usually transported to remote sites and left to decompose after being stripped of certain components.

She added that traditional recycling projects focus only on recovering profitable components, while large parts of aircraft are dumped in landfills or remain neglected indefinitely.

The carrier indicated that Falcon, in partnership with Wings Craft - another UAE-based company specializing in the production of furniture and goods made from aircraft materials - will design and manufacture unique collectibles and retail items from materials and parts that will be removed from the aircraft, and transform cabin components into furniture and souvenirs. It will go on sale in the coming months.
