Work to potentially return Ethiopian Airlines’ stranded Boeing
787 to service appear to have got underway at London’s
Heathrow Airport.
Although the cause of the July 12 incident has not yet been
disclosed by U.K. air accident investigators, contractors have
begun assembling scaffolding frames around the aircraft in
preparation for work on the aircraft which was damaged by
fire hours before it was due to leave for Addis Ababa.
It is expected that Boeing will undertake a large scale repair
on the composite structure at the rear of the aircraft, a project
that will probably require the aircraft to be sheltered,
particularly with the British winter fast approaching.

As can be seen in the photo, which has been kindly provided
by the Metropolitan Police Air Support Unit, the work
underway is considerable. The aircraft is currently parked
in what is known as “Cargo Cul-de-sac” The aircraft is also
likely to face a hefty parking charge thanks to its lengthened
stay at Heathrow.
