"Swiss to remove damaged Avro RJ100 on floating pontoon at London City
By Victoria Moores

Swiss International Air Lines and its insurers have decided to repair
the BAE Systems Avro RJ100 which was heavily damaged in a hard
landing incident at London City airport last month.

The aircraft is a seven-year old example registered HB-IYU
owned by Zurich-based Anson Aircraft. It was operating from
Geneva with 93 passengers and crew when it made the hard landing on 18
August.

A Swiss International Air Lines spokesman says: “The final
decision has been taken to repair it.”

Early evaluations suggest that the repair work will take
approximately 14 weeks, says the spokesman, although he
declines to comment on the cost of the work.

He says the aircraft suffered a tail scrape, cracks and
severe damage during the landing, but declined to comment
further on the cause which is subject to an ongoing
investigation.

Due to space and maintenance constraints at London City
airport, which is located on the river Thames, the aircraft
must be moved off-airport to perform the repair work.

The spokesman says it will soon be towed onto a marine
pontoon and floated a short distance along the river
to the north Royal Dock area.

“Security-wise everything is being prepared. We are
going to build a special hangar for the aircraft,”
he says. “The exact date for the move is not yet known,
but we will perform the repair on the spot. The aircraft
has been released; we can do what we want with it.”
