My guess is that it is entirely salvageable, though it might be very expensive. Though from Boeing's point of view that level of damage and source could be very expensive if it ends up a write-off, especially from GSE damage. Obviously the integral composite barrels are different than sheet metal, but I have seen an entire wing and adjacent fuselage structure replaced.

Hearing several reports that TUIB might not be salvageable? Somethings to do with the size of the hole and the way the skin is constructed in that part. Normal patch cant quite cover it? |
Can't find this online, what's happened to the 787?

My guess is that the damage is outside the allowable for a standard SRM (Structural Repair Manual) repair, either time-limited or permanent. This would trigger further engineering support to design, substantiate, and potentially approve the repair. I have no idea on how TUI's mtc system operates, but for some airlines this might be totally in-house, others will go straight to Boeing, and in some cases it will be a mix of both. Regardless, this will extend the repair time, often considerably.

AOG since 18th Nov, confirmed hit by baggage belt, Boeing sending a team of 20+ to fix, to take at least 3 weeks....

NWI Summer 2018
Is it too early to ask if TUI are using Sunwings ar Norwich, Belfast, Leeds, Dublin next year, and do they bring the same aircraft over each year or will it another 4
|
I see G-OBYE has been at St Athan since 22 Nov any ideas as to why as it was due to do Scandinavian flts this winter in support of F,G,and H which are all operating in that theatre at the moment?
|
It's coming off lease and going back to the lessor.

A boeing 787's material make up is very complex indeed, a composite structure interwoven with copper amongst other materials

Bangor in Maine.

Heading to Goodyear for Freighter conversion. Has to stop in Bangor to clear customs.

Apologies if it's been mentioned and I've missed it but G-TUIB is now tail first inside the Thomas Cook hanger being attended to by Boeing engineers. From what I can gather TUI/Boeing are renting the floor space and have an cordoned off area in there.
|
What would the situation be regarding payment/insurance on the TUIB issue? I assume that the ground handling agents insurance would be covering the repairs etc, would they also be liable for any subcharters that TUI need to carry out?

Summer 18
BHX-VCE disappeared from flight only weeks ago and Izmir in the holiday section is on Thomas Cook but still 8 based aircraft so still plus 1 on 2017.
Venice was definitely bookable a month or so ago so something has changed. |
789
Just want to answer one of my own questions from a few weeks ago.
I now have sight of the seat maps and the TUI website shows a 789 operating into Manchester come April. So, indeed it looks like Manchester will see a mix of 788 and 789 operations by April 2018. |
Does anyone know if TUI are using a Sunwing aircraft for the BFS base in S18 again?
