They didn’t nail the all important proving flight however.
Bonzo will need a Head of Flight Operations before CASA will start anything. A CEO and CFO isn’t going to get the ball rolling too far with Canberra.
Virgin seem to be sending all the heavy work to Hong Kong. Probably no different here. Manila might be able to do it cheaper. Considering some of the stuff I’ve seen return out of those places, I highly doubt CASA gives offshore maintenance much time in any overall AOC decision making. Engineering quality has being going by the wayside for yonks now.
