Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 we are not able host the assembly in-person for 2020 or 2021. We will be hosting a virtual Member Meeting that will be open to all AFRA members on August 26, 2021, at 11:00 AM EDT.

We at AFRA have hope for the future that we can gather in person next year in 2022. Please stay safe and we will “see” you at the member meeting.

(Washington, D.C. August 18, 2021) –The Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association recently held its 2021 board elections.

The Board of Directors has ratified the election results and announces the following:

• Sean Newsum, Boeing, was elected
• Manuel Lopez Aguilar, Jet Aircraft Services, was elected
• Fabian Nagel, Lufthansa Technik AG, was appointed to fill the position of existing appointed board member, Fabricio La Banca, Lufthansa Technik AG

AFRA would like to thank Fabricio La Banca for his years of service to AFRA and wish him the best on his future endeavors.
