Looks like STS are finally taking in the aircraft as I noticed a 787 going in the hangar yesterday.

Great to see such an excellent facility back in operation. I'd just like to wish STS Aviation a long and prosperous future there.

Some good news on a very depressing day, however I am assuming this crisis will also have an impact on aircraft maintenance facilities or will these places be really busy whilst airlines decide to give there aircraft some TLC whilst not operational over the coming weeks/months ?

 

[HPsauce]

Indeed. Let's hope there is a silver lining to this big black cloud currently.

In an ideal world yes. Problem is how airlines would pay for it - they'll be wanting to reduce spending as much as possible as their cash flow dries up.

Good point Coathanger16

The well managed carriers will have made provision for on going and unexpected maintenance and current account cash flow should only have impact on future unplanned issues such as when aircraft go technical off station and emergency leasing of replacement equipment from WAMOS or HIFLY etc., this is my limited understanding.

STS may get a chance to prove their worth soon enough as AIRLINES bring forward necessary work during quiet times.

Any plans airlines have would have been based on continuing sales of tickets. With their main source of revenue gone, airlines will be looking at stopping any non-essential outgoings.

Also aircrafts fleets will either be flying or grounded/in storage for the next few months. Once an aircraft is in storage, its not a simple matter of just taking it out of storage.

STS have not yet been granted regulator approval to carry out maintenance,. When granted they then have a period before they will get full approval to carry out heavy checks until then they can only lighter stuff like A checks, mods,AOG'S etc.

Short term storage checks are carried out regularly to keep aircraft in a ready to fly state.

So who exactly is servicing the Neos 789s ?

Neos themselves I am told!!

I think apple who have the MRO 145, using STS hangar. STS need to get there own STS MRO 145 from the CAA.

Neos 787-9 finally departed today 13.59 EI-NUA off runway 15. Been here a long time in STS hanger.
