Or it could be the bean counters taking things a bit too far!!!

Yes, G-Khan,
Leasing the engines/airframe seperately is quite common, and further, there are airlines that own the airframe and lease the engines in, some rather large advantages are to be had apparently!
Cheers

The engines are being serviced at the Rolls-Royce factory in East Kilbride and apparently it is cheaper to park it in Glasgow rather than drive the engines up from down south. The only probelm with that is of course that the aircraft is out of service for all this time.

hi all,
aircraft sitting outside BA hangar, engines are in my home town of East Kilbride getting overhauled at RR, due to go back to the aircraft some time soon, correct A320 is on lease, GB airways or Bmed I dont know, some slight maintenance work getting done to it whilst its sitting there not earning any money for anyone,
see ya

Using info from www.avnclub.demon.co.uk (was last updated 4/4)
"G-MEDB 'Rendezvous' last revenue service was BA6712
05Mar ADD-ALY-LHR and stood down. Parked at LHR."
Probably that a/c.

It just goes to show that you can't leave anything unattended in Glasgow... For just a few quid and a bottle of Irn Bru and vodka they could have got a couple of local kids to watch it....!!!

the aircrafts engines are in Rolls royce for overhaul in east kilbride, the aircraft is owned by british Med, cheaper to park the aircraft at GLA for 8 weeks than frieght the engines up from gatwick,
