Default John Holland Scores Boeing Maintenance Deal

From Australian Aviation...

Quote:
Melbourne based John Holland Aviation Services has been selected to provide Boeing GoldCare maintenance for the Asia-Pacific region.

Under the deal, John Holland will provide line, base and heavy maintenance as part of fleet management services for Boeing’s Next Generation 737 and 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Victorian Minister for the Aviation Industry Gordon Rich-Phillips hailed the decision as further proof that the state has established itself as an international leader in aviation. He said the deal could lead to new jobs in an industry that already contributes more than $600 million annually to the state’s economy and directly employs about 22,000 people, he said.

Boeing’s operations in Australia is its largest outside of the US.

The announcement came as 787 ZA001 visited Melbourne during its short Australian visit.
Will they have to build new hangars to accommodate the 787?

Yes, but they would surely need to build more to service 787s?

Raymond was that the hanger that Uninted 744 went into after it collided with a QF 763 a couple years back and spent 1-2 weeks or so If I remember correctly is that the one you speak of ?
