Is it the Check or the Conversion that is being done there???
As for the cost, the ferry costs must surely come into calculations.
I believe that AAES aka "NEWCO" will be an MRO owned by John Holland and QANTAS to do:
QANTAS/VIRGIN/JETSTAR/ANZ and anyone else looking for the cheapest maintenance.
Not sure about this last bit - you may want to flick this to the D & G Forums for any more goss!
