Am I right in saying that Airtours had their own Maintenance Control Centre working to liase between FLS (who looked after their 75's), BA (who looked after their 76's) and Monarch (who looked after their Airbus's) until about a year ago when the head honcho's decided that they pay these other companies to manage their fleet's engineering and paid off the guys looking after their company's interests'? It looked for a while that AIH were going down the road of getting their own JAR 145 approval and would take on all this work themselves.
Could it be they have realise the error of their ways (didn't look at the risks involved in subbing out EVERYTHING) and realise they need to look after their fleet (including Germany, USA, Canada, Mexico .... where are all their aircraft now?) themselves instead of hoping other companies care as much as they do?
