Qantas to close its Avalon base
Qantas are currently holding a news conference announcing the closure of the Avalon maintenance base, citing the retirement of the B747 fleet as a contributing factor.
No doubt press releases will be out soon.

Because they prefer to get the work done cheap in Asia unfortunately.

Is it true that there is "less" work on the newer types with the addition of self monitoring systems etc. ?

Considering it is just a heavy mainteance base they would presumably have the same issue of not enough aircraft in the fleet to keep the workers constantly busy.
The A330 and 737 fleets there are enough of them to justify the Brisbane base. |

Australia is just too expensive. For anything. Whether it be getting maintenance on an aircraft, buying bananas, going on holidays. We are just too expensive.
