AIRCRAFT DEMOLITION

What AIRCRAFT DEMOLITION does

Jet Yard Solutions, LLC (operating under the trade names "Aircraft Demolition," "Jet Yard Solutions," and "JYS") is a service-based aircraft lifecycle solutions provider headquartered at Pinal Airpark (MZJ) in Marana, Arizona, with a secondary operational site at Kingman Airport (IGM) in Kingman, Arizona. Founded in 2014 and operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of Air T, Inc. (NASDAQ: AIRT), the company is a certified FAA 145 Repair Station and a member of the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA). Its unified service portfolio spans aircraft storage and preservation, maintenance of parked aircraft, technician-staffed disassembly and part-out operations, AFRA-compliant end-of-life demolition and recycling, and a niche Modification, Research & Mockups line for custom component engineering.

The company delivers services through a B2B direct-sales model targeting aircraft owners and operators worldwide, with engagements customized to each customer's scope, budget, and timeline. Revenue mechanics are project-based and quote-driven across four streams: recurring-style long-term aircraft parking and storage programs, professional-services disassembly and part-out, AFRA-compliant demolition and recycling, and custom modification/research work. Disassembly and part-out crews can be mobilized globally to customer locations, while storage, maintenance, demolition, and modification activity is concentrated at the two Arizona airfields.

The go-to-market relies on direct inbound contact via website forms, email ([email protected]), and phone, with minimal digital marketing — only a corporate LinkedIn presence and the corporate website functioning as the primary commercial surface. Differentiation rests on FAA 145 regulatory authorization, AFRA credentials, the dual-site Arizona footprint in two of the region's premier desert-storage airfields, the institutional backing of Air T, Inc., and a stated custom-solutions approach in place of standardized product offerings.

Direct peers

• Air Livery: Air Livery provides aircraft painting, interior refurbishment, and end-of-lease return services. While more focused on aircraft presentation than full disassembly, it serves the same airline and lessor customers needing pre-redelivery aircraft preparation, partially overlapping with Jet Yard's modification services.
• VAS Aero Services: VAS Aero Services is a direct peer in the aircraft part-out and component distribution market, supplying rotables and consumables sourced from disassembled commercial aircraft. It competes with Jet Yard's part-out revenue stream.
• Ascent Aviation Services: Ascent Aviation Services operates at Pinal Airpark (Marana, AZ) alongside Jet Yard Solutions, providing aircraft parking, storage, maintenance, and dismantling services. It is a same-site competitor in aircraft storage and disassembly.
• GA Telesis: GA Telesis is a direct peer offering integrated aviation services including aircraft teardown, part-out, component repair, and MRO. Its Component Solutions and Engine Services divisions overlap with Jet Yard's disassembly, part-out, and recycling services for retired commercial aircraft.
• Air Salvage International: Air Salvage International is a direct peer providing aircraft storage, dismantling, and recycling at facilities in the UK. It targets the same end-of-life aircraft niche as Jet Yard and is similarly AFRA-accredited.
• Universal Asset Management (UAM): Universal Asset Management is a direct peer specializing in aircraft disassembly, recycling, and part-out services. UAM is AFRA-certified and competes with Jet Yard for end-of-life commercial aircraft processing contracts from airlines and lessors.
• Tarmac Aerosave: Tarmac Aerosave is a direct peer operating large aircraft storage, maintenance, and dismantling facilities in France and Spain. It shares Jet Yard's business model of parking end-of-life aircraft, performing preservation, and dismantling for recycling — often cited as one of the largest aircraft storage operators globally.
• AerFin: AerFin is a direct peer providing aircraft end-of-life services, engine and airframe part-out, and MRO support globally. Like Jet Yard, it specializes in transitioning retired aircraft into reusable parts and components for the aftermarket.

Broad incumbents

• AAR Corp: AAR Corp is a broad incumbent in the aviation services industry, offering MRO, parts supply, and integrated solutions across commercial, business, and government aviation. Its Parts Trading and MRO segments overlap with Jet Yard's part-out and airframe maintenance capabilities, though at vastly greater scale.

Regional players

• China Aircraft Services Limited (CASL): CASL is a regional peer providing aircraft MRO, line maintenance, and ground handling services at Hong Kong International Airport. While not focused on end-of-life services, it operates as an FAA 145-equivalent and serves commercial operators in Asia, comparable in service mix to Jet Yard's MRO activities.
