AIRCRAFT DISMANTLING IN KUALA LUMPUR

Keske Dismantling Ltd. was assigned to dismantle two Boeing 737-300 in Kuala Lumpur in October 2011. The high value part extraction and disassembly of the harmful components were done previously. In order to dismantle the aircraft, first step in the process was to jack the aircraft at the designated dismantling area.

After dismantling the landing gear jacks were replaced by wooden pallets which were the best alternative to prepare for the actual dismantling process.
