Yay! Let's hope they get more A340's in for retrofits this fall/winter.

D-ABVL should be the next B-747 refitted. The plane left FRA this morning and should land in HAM in few minutes.

We've discussed this in great depths regarding maintenance check times throughout this thread so if you'd like to argue an IL-Check for an A340 only takes 2 weeks then you're more than welcome to.
SR Technics can just perform an IL-Check on the A32S family in 2 weeks and that's for a bare minimum check with nil findings calculated within the package.

So you can appreciate the times and manhours involved for an aircraft that's roughly three times the size of an A32S!

I'm a pretty accurate source is all I can say...

Nevertheless I have basically no clue, therefore you might be right.
