Seem's an awfully long way to fly a battered plane for repairs...

It's kinda like how you call Shaw and it's a dude in India.

Air Canada’s Airbus A330s and Boeing 777s in need of repair are being sent to ST Aerospace in Singapore and HAECO in Hong Kong, while its 767s will go to Lufthansa Technik in Ireland.

“It is correct that some work has gone outside Canada and the reason is that Canadian MROs who can do the work in time are already at capacity due to Air Canada work,” Mr. Fitzpatrick said. “In a few cases, too, aircraft have to be sent elsewhere because no Canadian MROs are certified for certain work on particular aircraft types.”

Mr. Fitzpatrick noted that Air Canada has always said that some of the work might have to go outside Canada. The priority has been to keep the work in Canada, he said.

Aveos, the former maintenance unit of Air Canada, abruptly filed for bankruptcy protection in March putting its 2,600 employees out of work. The company, formerly known as Air Canada Technical Services, blamed its insolvency on $16-million in lost revenue in less than two months after Air Canada reduced, deferred, and cancelled maintenance work with the company.
