Seems a very long stay. Is this an unusual kind of service for Monarch?

I would assume it is more to do with the unusual nature of the engine problems that have dogged the 787 program for a good while. MAEL seem to be able to carry out most maintenance tasks that are required both on the airframe and engines.
I do hope this good news story continues for both MAEL and for BHX. Great for us enthusiasts as well. Air Austral is not an airline seen regularly in the UK, so brilliant for the photographers amongst us as well.

I must admit I'd be a bit surprised if MAEL could do detailed maintenance of the Trents without Rolls Royce people being on hand. Surely a very specialized operation?

With Derby not that far away it wouldn't suprise me if there is staff from Rolls there

That could be a contributing factor as to why so many airlines are being drawn to MAEL? Or that could be a completely bogus assumption and they might have absolutely nothing to do with MAEL

If it wasn't happening already I'd say MAEL and RR were missing a trick there...
