Boeing recently sold its London Gatwick Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hangar to British Airways. This strategic transaction is expected to enhance the reliability of British Airways' fleet, which has been welcomed positively by both customers and employees. The integration of the hangar into British Airways’ operations is anticipated to improve maintenance efficiencies and operational reliability across their network.
