Boca Raton, FL, April 11, 2017 – VAS Aero Services, a global leader in aviation logistics and aftermarket services, announced it has acquired a Boeing 777-200 aircraft from, The Boeing Aircraft Holding Company (BAHC), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company that manages Boeing owned and used aircraft.

The aircraft (serial number 27360) was previously operated by China Southern Airlines. VAS will manage the end of life dismantlement of the aircraft and provide aftermarket sales and distribution of the surplus parts through VAS’s worldwide 777 customer base.
