General Demolition was engaged by GJD Services, a specialist aircraft decommissioning and asset recovery company, to assist in the demolition and scrapping of a Boeing 747-236B ‘Jumbo Jet’ airliner for European Aviation Air Charter (EAAC) at Bournemouth International Airport in Dorset. The aircraft was retired in 2004 following 26 years of service.
