Qantas statement on maintenance

Monday, 23 Mar, 2006 0

Qantas said today it was still committed to keeping aircraft heavy maintenance work in Australia.

The Executive General Manager of Qantas Engineering, Mr David Cox, said the arrangement for a single Boeing 747-400 aircraft to undergo a heavy maintenance check in Singapore next month was not out of the norm.

“We are in a transition period ahead of moving our heavy maintenance operations to Avalon,” Mr Cox said.

“On occasion we carry out maintenance work offshore – work that is done by qualified, reputable and fully certified service providers.  We have made no secret of this and it will continue when necessary.

“To be clear – right now we have plans for one aircraft to undergo a maintenance check overseas, however we will always reserve the right to send some work offshore to meet operational requirements where necessary.”
