AFRA Highlights in 2023

Boeing announced that they will work exclusively with AFRA accredited organizations when directing aircraft in the Boeing-owned fleet for dismantling. This is a significant recognition of the high standards and best practices upheld by AFRA BMP Accredited organizations and a testament to the trust and confidence that Boeing has in our BMP Accreditation Program.

AFRA signed an MOU with the CAAC, which sets up a framework for cooperation and information exchange between AFRA and CAAC to support the approval of disassembly facilities outside of China based on AFRA accreditation.

AFRA continued to grow its membership and accreditation program, which is the leading international association and the only industry standard for aircraft recycling and disassembly.
