Lo-Co Aircraft Maintenance
 

Who actually carries out the Light and Heavy Maintenance for the major Lo-Co airlines, for example :-

Ryanair
Easyjet
Jet2
Globespan
Flybe
etc etc

I assume that most of these carriers sub-contract their maintenance to third party maintenance companies, I would be very interested to learn where this maintenance is actually carried out.

Ryanair do their own, Easyjet use either Easytech or SR Technics, Jet 2 do their own, Globespan don't usually bother with maintenance, but when they have to, they use Storm and Flybe do their own also.

Flybe do there own service and Heavy Maintenance as they are the european regional service center for Bombardier,Embraer and BAe.

Jet2 have their own engineers for light maintenance.

C checks carried out at Lasham - I think!!

Whispering Giant - User name taken have anything to do with the Bristol Britannia!!??

Jet 2 might of had some work done in Eastern Europe, possibly Hungary.
Can anyone back this up.
Flyglobespan has had the 733 in France somwhere.

737 C Checks carried out at JAT Hungary and Multiflight Hangar by Jet2 engineers. 757s go to Lasham.

Try ATC Lasham/Southend

Easyjet

737 C Chk's c/o by SRT Dublin

A319 Minor Chk's c/o by Lufthansa Schonefeld, SRT Stansted & Atis Aviation Orly. All dependant what part of europe the aircraft are based at the time.
A319 C Chk's First ones to happen this winter possibly at SRT Zurich.

Jet2 c checks out in Belgrade AFAIK.

Thank you for your reply's so far.

I am not a journalist, my father was a Licensed Aircraft Engineer for 40 years and I have an interest in Commercial Aviation.

I thought it would be interesting to find out what approach the various Lo-Co carriers had taken to maintenance requirements.

Thats easy, the cheaper the better!!
Like every other department in any low cost airline, anywhere they can save a buck.
