TOM pulled out of their contract for Goldcare with Boeing, around Feb last year, Boeing were not happy one little bit.
Monarch (MAEL) were not too pleased either, as they spent a good deal of time as part of the project.
You do not have to be signed up for Goldcare, to maintain the B787, you will however have to pay for all the tooling you will need.
The contract that MAEL have with LOT is not a Goldcare contract.
It is going to be very interesting to see how TOM, are going to cover hangar work in the mean time.
I can assure you that it will not be long before the new B787s will be AOG and in time will also require a hangar.
We have just used our MAN hangar for one of the LOT B787s and it was not for a check.
