The maintenance of the 810 fleet is already contracted and the supplier will be required to TUPE transfer all current 222 maintenance staff into their business at the start of the contract and out of their business to the 810 fleet maintainer at the end of the contract, which may be staggered to align with new 810 fleet introduction.
