Why popular airplanes are getting scrapped years early
An Airbus A320neo rolled off the Mobile, Alabama line in July 2022 for Spirit Airlines but was stripped for parts and crushed in May 2024, less than four years old. Industry data show 21 newest‑generation jets, averaging 6.4 years of age, were dismantled between June and August 2025, far earlier than the typical 21.7‑year retirement age.
