The message that CASA hadn't seen a A350 come up for approval before was misleading. It's because casa hadn't seen an A350 by TG before, so they need to treat it as a new plane (remember, each airline has slightly different mods, and maintenance plans of the plane.. it's not just the logo that's different)
very interisting information, xzyman...
now I am just wondering when CASA will realize and acknowledge that ICAO finally didn't put the red flag on Thailand and that, therefore, TG should be able to execute its business plan including equipment changes as planned.....
