Presumably a hull writeoff is an unattractive option to the various parties (Airbus, RR, QF, etc) so I'm wondering:
What is the status of the aircraft at the moment and what is happening to it on a day-to-day basis? Is it repairable? Would they repair the wing or replace the wing? Where does the aircraft get repaired? Patch and fly back to France/Repair in Singapore? If repairable, does QF have it in their insurance policy that they can hire a preplacement (my car policy lets me get a hire car!)? Hopefully the Discovery Channel will create a step-by-step documentary. |

Apparently a new wing will be transported to Singapore and will be replacing the damaged wing. The fixes will be done in Singapore as well. Hope this helps.

Brock is right. It is a significant repair - looks like 6 months at least but it will be done in Singapore.

As for the $$$$... Ouch!!!!
EDIT: Further http://yssyforum.net/board/showthread.php?t=6224, Grahame's post. (Thanks for all the pics again Grahame.) My perception is the A380's are undergoing an extreme level of checking currently ( I have NO problem with this at all, safety is critical) I am concerned how QF can recover all this cost. This is going to go on for YEARS! (Legal wise) I think that is very unfortunate to say the least. Kind regards, Geoff Last edited by Geoff W; 12th December 2010 at 02:27 PM. Reason: More info. |

Repairing OJH after the Bangkok incident, cost approx $100mio.
Repairing OJK after the oxygen tank explosion, will we ever know ? Replacing the wings on A380 OQA, "priceless".
