Okay kiddo, let me explain what the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA) is all about. Do you know what happens when we no longer need our old toys and we throw them away? Similarly, when airlines retire their old planes, they need to be disposed of, and that's where AFRA comes in.
AFRA is a group of companies that help airlines dispose of their retired planes in an environmentally friendly way, like recycling them! Imagine all the components of a plane, like the engine, seats, and wings – they can all be recycled too!
AFRA ensures that these old planes don't sit in a big junkyard and harm the environment. Instead, they recycle the planes and give any reusable parts a new life. It's like giving your old toys to a new friend – everything can be used in a different way!
AFRA also makes sure that the companies recycling the planes are following safe and ethical practices. This way, everyone is happy – the environment, the airlines, and the companies doing the recycling!
