Avient in trouble again
 

I hear Avient have more problems - this time their second MD11 damaged on the ground in Nairobi.

Is it bad luck or bad ops? Iam starting to think!!!

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.

Jeez...
 

...that could be a long time to be wearing O2 nosebags! :}

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:

Any conclusions yet from their MD11 crash yet?

Z-BVT Maintenance
 

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:

Move along please - no news here :bored:

Z-BVT Maintenance
 

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.
