AFRA (Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association)
In 2006 ASI, along with 10 other companies participated in the founding of the Aircraft Fleet Recycling Association (AFRA). The aim was to address mutual interests in preparing a code of conduct and promoting best industry practices in the field of aircraft storage, return-to-service, reclamation and recycling operations. The association agreed to work in a cooperative fashion to provide aircraft owners with a responsible means of managing the full product life cycle, extending from the recycling of manufacturing and maintenance scrap to the storage of aircraft that are currently out-of-service, to refurbishment of aircraft that can go back into revenue service, to disassembly, responsible parts management, and recycling of materials from aircraft that are no longer marketable.
AFRA has now grown into an organisation of 56 member companies, and is now recognised as the leading global industry association dedicated to pursuing and promoting environmental best practice, regulatory excellence and sustainable developments in aircraft disassembly, as well as the salvaging and recycling of aircraft parts and materials. 
Air Salvage International is now an Accredited Member of AFRA, and fully committed to conducting all its activities in such a way as to ensure that the highest reasonably achievable Health and Safety standards are maintained in respect of employees, members of the public who could be affected by ASI operations, and the general environment.
 
We are also accredited to ISO9001: 2000 Quality Management, and ISO 14001: 2004 Environmental Procedures as assessed and approved by QAS International.
