LinkThis is where the UC suites were installed. There were also maintenance contracts for the A343s but I don't know if they still stand

The VS A340 heavy airframe maintenance was moved to Lufthansa Technik in Manila some time last year.
The more recent A346 mods (cabin reconfig for new PE seat and some other retrofits) were done in Zurich, as I recall.
Wonder where VS will move 744 interior work to now? This was, I think, the remaining work that SRT were doing for VS in Dublin. (744 airframe, engine and paint being done by KLM in Amsterdam.)
It seems that the real nail in the coffin here was the loss of the GF and EI heavy airframe work.
Sad news for the industry in Dublin.
