Rex said today one of the airline’s Boeing 737-800NGs had been sent to Singapore for scheduled maintenance work at a world-renowned MRO facility.
The aircraft, VH-RYU, is one of six 737s in the Rex fleet and flew from Melbourne to Singapore via Darwin last Saturday. The 737 is undergoing a scheduled replacement of the entire landing gear assembly in accordance with the Boeing maintenance program.
The work is being conducted by a specialist team from ST Engineering at its MRO facility in Seletar Aerospace Park. The aircraft, again operated by a Rex crew, is scheduled to depart Singapore on November 6 and will fly direct to Melbourne.
