Lasham
Any news of the progress of new maintainance company on the airfield
|
2Excel Engineering trading as ATC Lasham opened officially for business on Jan 4th. My understanding is a single bay initially. 9H-MTF exec 737-300 arrived last week and I believe it to be their first customer airframe. Advert out for licenced Boeing engineers.
'Skeleton staff' after Administration oversaw the disposal outbound of the ex Norwegian 737-300s that were in store on site. From little acorns........ |
Anyone know if LBA based Multiflight have sold Boeing 737-300CJ, 9H-MTF that's currently at Lasham?
|
I am not sure that it is still at Lasham. The plan I understand was to re-configure it down to 60 business class seats. 9H-PAM is due to be delivered to Maleth Aero, this will assume 148 seat operations. 9H-MTF is of course operated by them as well.

The working culture there is terrible, lots of backstabbing, bullying, narcissism. Contractors are regularly stood down with little or no notice so nobody wants to work there. As someone else said a lot of the work has recently dried up too.
|
Work always dries up in the summer, but 2x Titan A321s on C checks (2 more to come) and some of the easyJet 5x A319 returnees should keep those employed busy. The 'Shamrock' 3x A321s will also need some maintenance prior to flying off for conversion. Added into the equation the company 737/727s, it should keep them ticking over.
|
As this is a rumour forum, everything I have written about is in print somewhere. The speculation about G-BYAW is just that, thus I did add the word if. No idea if it is true, thus the caveat.
Titan 4x A320. https://www.aviationbusinessnews.com...K8zl4E8EZThwe4 easyJet A319s. https://jethroseu.co.uk/previous/previous_updates.htm Team Tempest 757 at Lasham. https://www.aerosociety.com/news/gathering-storm/ Edit. As the ex Aer Lingus A321s will have been in store for a long time, one can probably guess that some kind of maintenance will be required prior to departing. Maybe Airbus permit a 'kick the tyres and depart', but I doubt it? |

oh dear, what happened here? From previous posts it seems Lasham and their maintenance facility are short on business!
