Quote : Where do you suggest they have their heavy maintenance done, Qantas?
If Virgin were fair dinkum about supporting Australia they could have done so at JHAS. They signed an EMBRAER deal and then chose to renig on the deal and send them to Portugal. Why ? They quoted poor turn times yet when adding the time and cost of ferry flights they take longer and cost more. They forgot that they could not supply parts on time with nearly all the checks started without all the pre load parts being sent. But hey it is never the customers fault.
Then they took away the B737 checks and landing gear program even though they were mostly completed on time. Send them to ANZES was their choice.
How long before Virgin take the A330 A Checks away from JHAS and put the final nail in the coffin?
So as many have stated in this thread where is the noise for taking the maintenance to Asia ?
