Werner Aero Buys Two Boeing 737-700 Airframes
Werner Aero has added two Boeing 737-700 airframes to its inventory in a move aimed at the aftermarket and future leasing opportunities.
On September 16, 2025, US-based asset manager Werner Aero completed the acquisition of two Boeing 737-700 airframes from Unical Aviation. The deal — focused on parts recovery and potential return-to-service or lease options — reflects steady demand for narrowbody components in the global aftermarket.
Why Werner Aero made the move
Werner Aero has positioned itself to support airlines, MROs (maintenance, repair, and overhaul providers), and lessors by securing legacy 737 assets that remain valuable for spares. The Boeing 737-700 is part of the 737 Next Generation family and continues to be a common source of high-demand components such as flight controls, landing gear parts, and interior items.
- Key fact: Werner Aero acquired two Boeing 737-700 airframes from Unical Aviation on September 16, 2025.
- Use case: Parts supply and inventory for MROs, with the option to prepare airframes for lease or sale.
- Market context: Narrowbody aftermarket demand is driving transactions for retired or spare airframes.
Werner Aero’s purchase is typical of asset managers who buy retired or stored airframes to harvest components, refurbish systems, or, when economical, return aircraft to service for short-term leases. While the buyer and seller details are confirmed, no tail numbers, serials, or planned lessees were disclosed publicly.
The deal underscores a broader trend: as airlines optimize fleets toward newer fuel-efficient types, serviceable 737 Next Generation parts remain essential until the worldwide fleet fully transitions to newer variants. For Werner Aero, owning physical assets like these airframes gives flexibility — immediate parts availability for clients and optional leasing upside if market conditions change.
