I know last year when Tui had an Olympus A321 based at BHX go tech for 3 days and they could not get a replacement aircraft it was costing them over 300k a day in EU claims and hotel costs.
They are about 10 years old and Fly Dubai were one of the first airlines to take the 737-800 Sky Interior but whether it applies to these examples........
