Qantas boss Alan Joyce opens hi-tech A380 service ?shed? in Los Angeles to make airline millions
Don't fear everyone, Mr Joyce is well ahead of the game in opening this excellent Heavy Maintenance Facility in the US...kind of like the one he closed in Avalon...that he said supposedly would be less and less viable in the future...hmmm...

My memory is a little hazy there camelsquadron, was that before or after the CEO described his own pilots as being involved in a "kamikaze campaign"? What a way to inspire confidence in your brand.

Those kamikaze red tie wearing pilots.
Real militant those International Qantas pilots aren't they, camel.
When was the last time they went on strike ?
1966ish or so wasn't it ?

Yes and the AVV Base was a B747 MRO and the B747 fleet is dwindling fast, it was more than 30 aircraft at one stage and now down to what, 11??? Obviously it wasn't viable to keep it open and A380s don't tend to spend a whole day at MEL and/or be able to 'pop' over to AVV for maintenance. The LAX move makes perfect financial and engineering sense. Don't waste the time while the aircraft is on the ground in LAX and actually do some maintenance. They may even be able to garner some third party work from other A380 operators at LAX.
