Well yes. Given the unlimited funds of the Treasury the machine could be kept flying forever.

I think though that it would be improper for the taxpayer to bear the costs of a commercial operation. Those days have long gone and we are the better for it.

Airbus are the manufacturers, they own the plans and employ the engineers and technicians. They alone can make the parts and keep the thing long term serviceable.

Cheers
