The aircraft is being sent to Singapore as management believe that if it was the "D" check was started in Sydney then it would never be completed. There was not enough hours left on the aircraft to delay the "D" check until the Avalon operation is up and running.
AVALON has already done D checks so what has to be up and running there already flat stick with not Enough resources.
good to see 30 fat lazy lames will get a holiday.
