I have discovered as the result of asking on another forum website that the BA Maintenance Base at Gatwick remains operational.
There has been some staff redundancies bit the remaining staff are being kept busy with line maintenance for several airlines, keeping aircraft parked at Gatwick airworthy as well as
carrying out a maintenance contract for Vueling. I am pleased it has not gone completely. This may not be news to other commentators on here but it cheered me up a bit!
I remember just before Covid 19 hit early last year, the Gatwick Base Management had put forward a business plan to the IAG board to secure its future, that had been accepted. Hopefully, it will manage to keep going until things improve.. It has a skilled
and flexible workforce.
