Aircraft Maintenance Workshops Around OZ Struggle to Meet Costs Paint Shop at Archerfield Latest Victim of Decline in Flying Activity |
The Archerfield paint shop "Flying Colours Aviation" operating out of Hangar 110 over the past few years has been
"repossessed" by
the airport owner/operator and doors locked after an apparent dispute over outstanding hangar rent |
It is expected the issue of aircraft parked in the hangar will be resolved - however the partly completed aircraft undergoing repainting is bound to have the "legal eagles" interested News Desk research has found out that over the past 10 years some 500 maintenance workshops around OZ have closed their doors as flying activity continues to decline after reaching a peak 20/25 years ago For a previous report that mentions the decline in private flying at Archerfield click HERE |
