BA see Maintenance as a cost to be controlled where as Lufthansa managed to make Lufthansa Technik into a world leading 3rd party maintenance provider. I cannot imagine BA building a new maintenance hangar ever again, they'd go third party before they'd spend that sort of money. At LHR, Technical Block A dates from the 1950s, TBB and TBD were demolished which leaves TBA, TBJ/TBK (the B747 hangars from the 1970s) and the Cathedral Hangar. Nothing at LHR us under 50 years old, and TBA has acres of empty office space due to....asbestos. GLA hangar dates from around 1966 when Abbotsinch became the new Glasgow Airport, which leave Cardiff which was opened with a wad of public sector funding in 1993. The early 90s build ex BMI hangar at LHR is now used by United who actually do invest in such infrastructure.
Management will put it off and keep kicking the can until the infrastructure falls down and they can offshore most of it.
Bottom line, can anyone see BA under IAG building anything new in the UK ever?
