A little time away from revenue generation for its annual 'medical' has been the order of the week for G-RAJJ.
So what happens when you need to replace a soon to be time expired escape slide during routine maintenance?
Well you can just remove and replace it it OR if you work for Cello, you can have a more interesting 5 minutes with camera and team
An opportunity for a little refresher training for the crew
Missing revenue opportunities is always a difficult call and scheduling maintenance against diary periods which are forecast as 'quiet times' and less invasive towards the revenue generating flying schedule is a bit of a dark art. However it has been achieved with limited down time over 5 days.
And so it's back into service for a full flying week ahead, touching 3 London airports plus Nice, Faro, Blackpool and Marseilles in the space of 7 days.
