O Leary can get them brand new from Boeing cheaper than that :pac:

This is terrible wouldn't they be better off stored in the Mojave desert where the incessant rain won't ruin them?

Lasham of course used to be the home of Dan Air ( I remember the Comets ! )

Strange place to dump them , bit damp as other people have mentioned .

Of course it's cheap , how much are the parking charges for the Futuera 738's sitting at DUB now ! ( and who pays them ? )

Not nice times to be a charter airline I think

It depends on the lease agreement between the airline and the bank who actually owns the aircraft, who pays storage of aircraft. Always the airline I find.

but if the airline has gone west, who picks up the bills ?

Lasham is not a graveyard. Its a maintanence facility, particularly in cases which are not time urgent

Just shows how much the Times know about aviation- S7 have not gone bust, the lease merely ended on the B733 classics.

Some would call it antique restoration Although they do 737ng's these days too.
