Any news on N288AY?

[Diverskii]

Anyone know what's happening to N288AY?

The US A330 that was hit by a truck all the way back in December.

Seems to still be at CLT, is it a complete write-off?

[TURIN]

No, it's not a write off.

Currently still in-work but scheduled to be completed by the end of March.

They've done a great job. Some of the photos show some very serious skin/structural work, not to mention having to gut the flight deck just to get at the damaged area.

I do have access to some of the post repair work but i'm not sure if they should be in the public domain yet.

For those who haven't seen the original incident damage, fill yer boots.

Thanks for that,it's good to hear she's been saved.

Think you'll be able to post those photos at some point after she leaves the hangar?

[Nopax,thanx]

Well, she just went hoovering over West London at FL380, so I'm guessing it's all good
