"Matthias said he does not expect the same engine would be used again in the charter by the airline."


Just out of curiosity, what happens to failed engines and where is a replacement obtained from.

Are they repaired and fitted back onto aircraft in a fleet assuming they do their own maintenance? Do big airlines have spare engines lying around?

Is there a second hand reconditioned engine market with hangers full of spare engines.
