787-8 G-ZBJE Any Update?
Does anyone know when BA are expecting G-ZBJE to return to service?. It has been parked up at LHR since arriving from Madras on 7th of March. |
Is this the one over by engineering without any engines?

BJE is currently in TBJ (one of the hangers at the LHR Engineering base) getting prepped for a return to service and word is it will be going on a test flight with staff/engineers before revenue flights.

Probably a good idea after so long out of service cs |

I would imagine so! suspect that the LGW engineers involved with the recent MEDK maintenance will be buying cakes for a while so imagine the LHR crowd would want to avoid the same 😂 cs |
G-ZBJE's long holiday has even been remarked on in the (other) FT today.

Have to be a subscriber to see that. Can you give a quick summary?

I can’t believe they chose to keep it at LHR for so long with the ground fees there, and space is already at a premium around that area (same goes for VS). It has been interesting seeing the Dreamliners parked up around the world, Norwegian in particular have chosen a good variety of locations! It would of course be better to see them in the air... |
Do they pay anything when they are parked in the hanger area? |
