ecube perspective - Adapt and Invest to Build for Positive Future.
Spring brings the prospect of a busy summer as passenger numbers rebound. The industry has a lot to be positive about after a difficult few years.
What are the trends appearing in 2024? Our CEO, Lee McConnellogue talks about building today to manage supply chain issues and make positive progress. He takes a look at three areas to be thinking about: global factors, the bow wave of retirements and a shortage of experienced people.

What’s The Potential for Aircraft and the Circular Economy?
ecube’s Analysis of KPMG’s Circularity Report
KPMG believes the circular economy in aviation is ‘a concept whose time has come’. In its Circularly in Flight report, published in March 2024, it suggests that:
'Aside from the compelling business case, it is clear that current materials usage will have to change to reduce anthropogenic impact on land and at sea'.

ecube’s repurposed material received a welcome reaction at #MROAM
Upcycled surplus aircraft material played a key part in ecube’s venture over the pond as part of their stand showcase at this year’s MRO Americas event in Chicago in early April.
The reuse, repurpose, recycle mantra was there for all to see at the largest global MRO event and the compliments [and enquiries] came flying in throughout the three-day exhibition.
The stand included a 3 window band aircraft fuselage table, 6 British Airways leather aircraft office chairs, a Boeing 747-400-wheel coffee table and a chrome polished aircraft window clock. All the material was produced by ecube’s repurposing division, Plane Reclaimers, who work hand in hand with ecube to maximise the use of any surplus material once any ecube project is complete.
How can your office be transformed by the use of upcycled surplus aircraft material?
When Parts Are At A Premium Here’s Why Disassembly Is More Than Just Teardown
Tear down, disassembly, reverse manufacture… Whatever you call it, it should be high-quality.
If an aircraft has roughly three life stages - build, operate, exit - the final phase should be as efficient and high-quality as its build and operation.
We are trusted by the industry leaders to take their aircraft and engines apart and recycle serviceable, certified parts to keep them running for longer.
