CAVU Aerospace has a clear vision for a greener MRO industry. Eric Langlois, vice president of business operations, explains more.
In the evolving landscape of the aircraft MRO sector, sustainability has emerged as a pivotal theme.
At CAVU Aerospace, we are at the forefront of this transformation, integrating green initiatives into our core operations with the objective of minimising our environmental footprint.
As a part of the leadership team at CAVU Aerospace, I’ve seen first‑hand the transformative impact of our team’s commitment to sustainability, especially in the realm of aircraft disassembly – a critical aspect of our business that significantly impacts our ecological sustainability.
Our collaboration with AFRA is a cornerstone of our sustainability strategy. Adhering to AFRA’s rigorous standards has not only demonstrated our commitment to the environment but also enabled us to achieve the newly formed Diamond-level recognition. This designation reflects our dedication to leading the industry towards a more sustainable future.
Innovation
At CAVU Aerospace, innovation is key to our approach. The development of CAVUSmartServices, including the groundbreaking CAVUSmartTags for real-time inventory management, exemplifies our commitment to combining technological advancements with ecofriendly practices. These initiatives ensure operational efficiency while significantly reducing waste and optimising the reuse of aircraft components.
