Air Transat A 310 in YQR

Post by arf »

Does anyone know what is up with the AT A310 in YQR? It has been on the ramp for at least a couple of days. I noticed today when I was driving on a grid road on the far side of the airport that there was a large crane beside the aircraft, so I figure that they are doing maybe an engine change out? It was brutally cold today with the wind today and there is no shelter at all where they are parked so it must be horrible to work on an airplane in those conditions.
