Aventure Acquires Former Southwest Boeing 737NG

Aventure's latest Boeing 737NG, formerly operated by Southwest Airlines, awaiting teardown in Marana, Arizona.

Aventure Aviation has acquired its twenty-sixth Boeing 737NG airframe, MSN 30280. This 737-700 aircraft was last operated by Southwest Airlines and will be dismantled by Ascent Aviation Services in Marana, Arizona.

"This strategic acquisition underscores Aventure's ongoing dedication to supporting its global base of 737NG customers," said Andrew Crombie, director of asset management.

"Aventure continues to strengthen its unique global aviation investment platform, offering tailored opportunities for investors and leasing companies," said Aventure president Talha Faruqi.

"Leveraging our teardown management expertise, we provide stakeholders with clear pathways for capital deployment, asset management services, and material consignments," Talha continued.

Aventure is in active discussions with owners, financial institutions, lessors, and airlines to find revenue-generating teardown solutions for idle aircraft.

Aventure Aviation will attend the Air Carriers Purchasing Conference, taking place August 16–19 in Aventure's hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Representatives will be available to discuss parts supply solutions with airlines, and seek synergies with MRO shops to assist in the significant number of parts Aventure is outsourcing for refurbishment.

Aventure to Attend Paris Air Show

Aventure Aviation will be at the Paris Air Show, which takes place June 16–22 at France's Paris–Le Bourget Airport.

Attending for Aventure will be operations manager for military sales Ron Taylo and senior accounts manager Nayle Siddiqui.

First held in 1909, the biennial event has grown into the largest air show and aerospace exhibition in the world.

In 2023, the first edition of the air show was held following the 2020 covid pandemic, and saw nearly 2,500 exhibitors from 48 countries attend, and $150 billion USD in contracts signed.

"We are excited to once again attend the Paris Air Show, which is one of the world's largest events for our industry," said Nayle. "We look forward to meeting with our customers and colleagues."

Aventure Aviation in Ft. Lauderdale for ASA/AFRA Conference

Aventure attended the ASA AFRA Conference, held June 1–3 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort and Spa. The event is held jointly with the Aviation Suppliers Association and Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association.

Held annually, the event offers attendees a range of sessions, workshops, and networking events focused on business development, management, quality assurance, legal/regulatory matters, and general industry topics.

Aviation professionals from across the globe were in attendance, including representatives from domestic and foreign air carriers, original equipment manufacturers, suppliers, repair stations, distributors, and recyclers.

Aventure's quality control manager Chris Jackson marked his 15th year attending the conference, reflecting his long-standing dedication to the event and the industry.

"I learned about upcoming updates on quality standards and requirements and improvements that I could share with our team," said Chris.

Honoring Fathers on Father's Day

Aventure Aviation vice president of sales and father Ebrahim Zakaria, with his family at the 2023 company holiday party.

This year, Father's Day takes place June 15 in the United States, and Aventure would like to recognize the countless contributions made by fathers.

The holiday is a time to reflect on the values of leadership, responsibility, and dedication fathers show every day to their families, communities, and workplaces.

Aventure was founded in 2001 by two fathers, Zaheer Faruqi and Amyr Qureshi. Zaheer's three sons, Talha, Hamzah, and Osman, started their careers at Aventure by working part-time in the Aventure warehouse during high school. Over the years, they rose through the ranks to take on leadership roles within the company, and eventually became fathers themselves.

"Fatherhood is the most rewarding thing I've ever done—it's a blast every single day," said Andrew Crombie, director of asset management. "Though sometimes, it feels like your kids are AOG (Aircraft On Ground), and every part you've got on the shelf is BER (Beyond Economical Repair)," he joked.
