Quite stunned that this 330 is not ETOPS?
It's not just the aircraft which has to have ETOPS Type Approval, the operator must also meet ETOPS Operational Certification. Operational certification requires all aircrew and engineering staff to be fully trained and qualified to ETOPS standards. For an organisation which has never operated an ETOPS aircraft before, obtaining this certification will not be a quick process....

The legacy culture of bodge tape, in-line crimps and FBA adjusts must be also be canned!
