Who we are
From industrial scrap in 2007 to aviation leadership today
Absher Group of Trade, Services and Industry was established in 2007, initially focusing on building maintenance and handling scrap from large factories and companies. Since 2020 the company has transformed into one of the leading players in the aviation industry, specialising in the trade of used aircraft spare parts, aircraft dismantling and crushing, as well as aircraft transportation, washing and cleaning services.
In 2020 the company underwent a strategic transformation, refocusing its efforts on the aviation sector. The journey began with a strong start: our first aircraft dismantling project in Umm Al Quwain, where an old Ilyushin IL-76 Russian aircraft was cut up after obtaining all necessary licences and official permits.

Every airframe is a resource bank
Every airframe we retire is a resource bank. Absher Group holds strategic partnerships with specialised metal processing factories, converting aluminium, titanium, platinum, copper and nickel into high-quality alloys that re-enter industry instead of landfill.

Testimonials
Trusted across the aviation value chain
