It is not known when the plans for British Airways's expansion at Gatwick Airport will be finalised but the reasons for expansion have been highlighted. British Airways' potential takeover of the Boeing facility will boost British Airways’ engineering operation at Gatwick Airport, the company has said, enabling it to continue to carry out minor maintenance on 777 aircraft at the airport. This increased capacity will also allow BA to in-source some scheduled heavy maintenance work on its A320/321 fleet and enhance its capacity to carry out unscheduled repair work.
In the long term, the airline expects to recruit additional staff and grow the new facility at Gatwick Airport. What has British Airways said about the plans?
