That’s not the case. Stage 1 is 18 wide bodies and they are already at stage 2 with 100Ha available, 80 spaces in total.

Mark let me re-phase
ASP does not have the space to suit QF's current needs. |

I think they do, it’s just that Mojave is a better place if your trying to sell your planes or part out, which is the case most likely with 6 of the A380s and the 744s

It was busy at Alice Yesterday with arrivals
Thailand: Three 777's of Nok Scoot HS-XBF, XBG, XBA
Singapore: Two A-380's 9V-SKP, SKQ TigerAir/Scoot: Two 787 Dreamliners 9V-OFB, OFD The three 777s are going back to SQ as NOK Scoot has been liquidated https://www.bangkokpost.com/business...ut-of-business SQ222 popped in to collect the crews. Last edited by MarkR; 28th June 2020 at 07:03 AM. |

ASP now has around 30 wide bodies stored which was their original capacity.
The proposed expansion plans (as of this morning) have not yet been approved. So they are near/at capacity. |

Not that many (15 by my count) and they confirmed in March they had to go ahead to expand to 100, in fact the NT govt tipped in money in February to support the expansion, and it’s got ALC approval.

It is one thing to say they have approval to expand; however, what is involved? It would not be as simple as moving the fence back and start accepting aircraft. Wouldn't your comment at post #113 substantiate Greg's assertion that ASP is not suited to QF's needs? Additionally, a great many of QFs aircraft would seem to be rotating in and out of short term storage at various capital city airports, so it may be easier for QF to access these aircraft as and when required.

Silkair - 6 x 737MAX8
Singapore Airlines - 6 A388's, 3 772's Scoot - 4 A320's, 2 788's NokScoot - 5 772's Plus Several QQ Fokkers and other aircraft stored before COVID. Also the infrastructure to extend the facility needs to built including constructing taxiways and pads capable of supporting the aircraft weight. Based on APAS website Dry, arid, low humidity environment ideal for the preservation of aircraft Infrastructure allowing APAS to accept all aircraft type Stage 1 capacity for 18 wide body aircraft Aircraft parking per OEM requirements 100Ha of storage space allowing significant future expansion Dedicated defueling pad with full environmental safeguards https://www.apas.com.au/services/aircraft-storage/ Last edited by Greg Hyde; 28th June 2020 at 03:10 PM. |
