Good news. It doesn’t make sense to leave -10s parked up with Club Suites and fit new engines to -9s with less capacity and old seats! In my opinion anyway.
plus it can’t do an aircraft much good to be parked up for ten months without flying so it was always likely to get the next set of engines.
Sometimes these aircraft go straight back into traffic and sometimes they get a test flight first. Be interesting to see what happens here and how long the engine fitment takes.
