The problem isn't even running a MAX as such, it's running it year round.
Oh, plenty of problems with running a MAX, no matter what airline!The problem isn't even running a MAX as such
You know he is telling lies when he said loads are ‘fantastic’ yet all the airports released data pointing to 50/60% Loads.The comments from the CEO of the maintenance provider, in the Australian Aviation article are fascinating. Exclusive: Bonza was close to a sale before grounding, its MRO says

Wild if true. Perhaps 777 said the deal going through a requirement otherwise the funding rug will be pulled from underneath (as has happened).The comments from the CEO of the maintenance provider, in the Australian Aviation article are fascinating.

Yea, but start small, fill the planes and then expand.
Jumping in with 180 seat planes on regional routes was always a risk!
Oh my...This was on my Facebook feed, they are literally blocking the whole aircraft now.
But who is doing this? If the lessor has repossessed them? Why do they need to block them off? What’s the airline going to do? Fly them off somewhere? They are not Bonza’s. What the heck is Bonza doing to do with them?
Or is this MCY airport doing this due unpaid bills?

They blocked them a few days ago when first grounded so this isn’t new.they are literally blocking the whole aircraft now.
The leasing companies paid the maintenance company to do this. Even though the asset has been repossessed it doesn’t stop someone from trying to steal it (just ask the Russians). Not I’m not saying we’ve got a Russian level aircraft theft going on here but the above blocking is standard practice during a repossession before it’s flown out. Not pictured but all the aircraft have since had the repossession notice taped to the door of the aircraft.But who is doing this? If the lessor has repossessed them?

Worried the administrator will take them perhaps?
We don’t know for sure but given Bonza’s. partnership it wouldn’t surprise me if they were paying MCY airport very little in airport fees and therefore are owed a much smaller amount then one would think.Or is this MCY airport doing this due unpaid bills?

Know for sure as the Australian Aviation article linked above had the following quote in the article about Bonza’s maintenance company:Do you know that for sure, or just an assertive answer?
It was AVCRO people moving blocks at MCY earlier in the week.“… before the abrupt seizure of its fleet, which was carried out by AVCRO on behalf of the repossessors.”
Getting a crane onto the tarmac suggests the airport is driving it. They probably wouldn't care enough to allow that otherwise.Do you know that for sure, or just an assertive answer?
If you are in control of the aircraft (the repossessor) , I dare say there are easier ways to immobilise an aircraft than hauling concrete blocks around it.
If you are the airport, on the other hand, not in control of the craft, you want to make sure that it doesn't go anywhere until you are paid.
