Extract

In terms of cost, BEA estimate this to be worth over £3 000 000 a year or, putting it another way, 7% of the revenue we receive has to pay for unreliability.

No specific allowance is made for the rectification of defects in the scheduling of aircraft during its turn-round time and to cover this we aim to schedule two stand-by Tridents, two Vanguards, one Comet and three Viscounts for their respective fleet sizes, so that if the snags are anything but minor, the stand-by aircraft take over while the defective one is rectified.
