OQA had overstayed its welcome at the end, hangar resource is normally scarce in any case
Whilst we have A380s in the fleet, we had better get used to 'borrowing' other MRO hangars. No suitable facility here in OZ. Just as well OQA returned to SIN, had it continued here - where would we have accomplished such a repair?
But as AJ would have us believe "these planes don't need as much maintenance".
90000 manhours on this occasion.
An incident like this is not new and every fleet has had maintenance challenges. Are we ready for the next one?
No.
