Last Test Flight was back on Jun 14th. So Its very possible they removed the engines again *sigh* One of possibility is they removed it so that they could use it as replacement engine for 1 of delivered frame (B-LCL), which had been in storage from 6 June to 4 Aug due to engine issues. From HK Express website, their OTP dropped all the way from 76% before engine breakdown to 47% in July. Just my guess... If this was what happened in background, that would mean the unreliability of PW engine & delay in delivery had hurt their operation badly... www.hkexpress.com/en-hk/on-time-performance |
