A couple of years ago, frames of that age would have gone for conversion to a freighter, but now, not so much..

Remember a show I watched on aircraft scraping a couples of years ago (so the data may of changed) that the engines equate to 70% of the value returned from scrapping an aircraft.

Engines, landing gear and computers are the most valuable items and tend to be sold even before an aircraft arrives at a bone yard. Won’t surprise me if they start working on it not long after it arrived.

Castlelake are the owner of two Rex birds including this one and last week made no mention of its disposal in an investor update, they expected delays in new delivery ac which may mean these aircraft find a temporary new home.
