hansnl Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 (edited) Never mind, the 747 has 4 engines. You can surely miss one? Edited July 19, 2010 by hansnl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 I thought Phuket Airways did not exist anymore. Who is doing the maintenance on this plane? Isn't that the company that chartered it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolsti Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 It would depend on the lease terms but often maintenance is down to the owner...Phuket Air in whatever form it now exists.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
