If the aircraft can not go to the maintenance organisation then the maintenance organisation can come to the aircraft.

So help me out a bit further please?

I dont understand how the maintenace organisation can come to the aircraft?

Are you suggesting some sort of travelling workshop?

Setting up new maintenance companies with labour from outside the UK may seem like an idea - but I dont beleive it is. It is very easy to under estimate the cost of setting up the operation. The pay back period would be considerable. Then there is the minor matter of finding premises - which are in short supply. Of course even if th einitial underlying labour costs are a little less you can guess how quickly they will rise as the engineers realise what they need to earn to live in the UK!
