Understand that the MD11F departed from Nairobi this morning to Frankfurt.
Amazed that a puncture hole repair to the aircraft skin forward of the rear pressure bulkhead can be achieved within 24hrs in Nairobi?
The benefit of flying under a flag of convenience .....?:ugh:
If the repair was a standard SRM repair & not to large it could easily be repaired in 24hrs in Nairobi by Kenya Airways who have both the manpower & facilities.

The aircraft departed LGG last night and has just this minute arrived back here in LGG at time 14:35 local so one would assume ops normal.
Plenty of excellent maintenance available in NBO, as those who know NBO would know :rolleyes:

Although on Zimbabwian register. Which MRO does the routine schedule checks on this bird, and what maintenance schedule is she on.

Suspect that information is on a need to know basis...and you likely are not on the list.:rolleyes:

I have no doubt the Avient maintenance facility has been thoroughly checked out by the Zim CAA safety oversight team - unless they are still busy compiling the crash report in Shanghai?

. . . the Zim CAA safety oversight team . . .
That'll be another bag of money then and an opportunity to go shopping in London.
