Corrosion found in four engines of hibernating Air NZ Boeing 777-300ER
Auckland’s humid climate has caused corrosion in the engines of hibernating Air New Zealand Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. (www.stuff.co.nz) 更多...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Keeping a couple close makes sense, because NZ is a long way away from another land mass. If you need planes in a hurry, even if they need minors repairs, that's the way to go.
Define "in a hurry". That's NOT the way to go! Now they have a very expensive corrosion problem. "The way to go" is what the others do - storage at a (nearly) humidity-free environment.
Its the way they were put into storage more likly than not. Also why not tag this with engine maker also? But hey am sure you are up on how to store or pickle things on AC.
Should have stored them in Mojave or Victorville like most others do.
Australia is closer and stored a lot of desert locations for storage too. SIA stored their A380s there and I think QANTAS used Victorville. Oh well
QANTAS has a few planes stored at back of LAX also I see the windows foiled out on a couple of A380
Was not aware. Think LAX might be an expensive place to store but many storage places are likely at capacity
Lots more room at many places Moses Lake for one. Just a thought/
Yes they have a new arge maintenance hanger base here at LAX
