I don’t have any picks handy but i was on the flightpath for 29R at Delhi. Quite a good place to be at if i may say so myself. 🙂

Quantas have had a number of incidents over the last couple of years – some people have linked this to a move from domestic maintenance to places with cheaper labour.

Is there any veracity to this?

They are not the only airline getting maintenances done in Malaysia. For example, Jet Airways has been getting it done since 1994 and has never faced any incident.

Plus if i am not wrong QF 380s go to Germany for maintenance?
