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.”

The Swiss sure know how to spend money. Put the plane on a barge in the river and build a hangar on said barge?

How does this happen with only a 10 knot pure crosswind? Did the aircraft flare too much on round out?
