It's probably a daft question, but what do they have changed exactly?

Is it all of the undercarriage, or just parts of it? I've never heard of this happening with any airline before.

[Camb01]

Both NLG and MLG are completely changed, Not sure exactly how many takeoff/landings before its required
but I am told its A CAA regulation so has to be done. The Set removed is sent away to be tested (For fatigue/stress etc) then re-furbished.
best I can tell you. normally takes 4 to 5 days to do a complete Undercarriage change on a A319. You can expect to see a lot of
easyJet A319s in/out of Cambridge over the coming months as they appear to have a major contract with the Airline. Not sure if this also
includes the A320 fleet Only 1 example been in so far but that was for repairs.
