Manchester has the facilities ie: a full hangar that can accomodate
an A330 so maybe positioning this a/c to Lufties would not be neccessary.
As for flying it in this condition? It might be considered if it was at
some remote location with no facilities. It would be subject to further
assessment / NDT inspection by Airbus before this. It would only be subject to one more landing (preferably smooth) at its final repair destination!
Its all up to BMI/Airbus. Bear in mind, BMI A330 heavy maintenance is
carried out by Far Eastern Maintenance Organisations. Watch this space.
