Hello,

I tried to reply in the original topic, however, for some reason the "reply" option does not show up.

Either way, sources inside the company confirm that SP-LPC "Gdansk" will be written off, as some members have previously speculated. Unfortunately, the insurance company determined that repair cost exceeds the value of the aircraft.

Proud hater of Boeing 747 and Airbus A380.

I immiadetely thought this would be a writeoff due to fuselage scrape, bent wings and damaged engines, but when the first reports spoke of "surprisingly little damage" I was surprised too.

Thank you for the information.

Do they have a replacement yet? Does the insurance company provide one? I assume to maintain their schedule they had to lease or charter a replacement right?

Next trip : DUB-AUH-CGK-DPS-KUL-AUH-CDG-ORK :-)

They leased a 767 from Aerosvit, which started flying LOT flights very soon after the incident.

I scratch my head, therefore I am.

Small correction, SP-LPC is actually "Poznań."

I wonder if leasing a 767 from Aerosvit is a sustainable long-term solution. Surely VV will need the aircraft for their summer season, as will LO... and the first Dreamliner isn't slated to arrive until Q4 2012 at the earliest.
