At last year’s Air Traffic Controller Association annual conference, there seemed to be general agreement that FAA should begin reporting NextGen capabilities achieved, not just activities completed. No such luck at ATCA 2017.
HAECO recently announced it would do the first C check on a Finnair Airbus A350 in the fourth quarter of 2017. Jari Huhtinen, head of technical operations at Finnair, says he has a contract in place with HAECO to have C checks done on seven 7 A350s between October 2017 and October 2018.
