I found this on the FlyBe thread, post #188.
"Heard a rumour that the Fly Be maintenance contract with MAEL ends in March.
Also they are looking at buying the TCX hangar at Manchester as TCX want out of doing own maintenance.
How far fetched are these rumours ?"
If there is anything in the rumour that TCX are planning to withdraw from their Manchester Maintenance base then this is a significant issue for MAN.
Can anybody conrtibute any information on this matter ?
