Boeing Shanghai signs maintenance agreement with Thomas Cook Airlines

Boeing Shanghai Aviation Services signed a maintenance agreement with Thomas Cook Airlines for Boeing 767 fleet maintenance. With this contract, Boeing Shanghai has expanded its airplane maintenance services to the United Kingdom. The first Thomas Cook 767 was inducted for C-check in October, followed by one airplane in November and one in 2016 at Boeing Shanghai’s facilities at Shanghai Pudong International Airport. A C-check is an extensive check of the airplane’s systems and components that can require several days to perform. The Thomas Cook Group Airlines consist of four leisure airlines: Thomas Cook Airlines UK , Thomas Cook Airlines Belgium, Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia and Condor Flugdienst. The airlines carry 17.2m passengers per year, generating revenues of £2.7bn. The combined fleet consists of 91 aircraft.
