As for the ferry flight to get it back to France, I imaging Airbus would be best placed to manage how this is organised/covered.
Its could always be sent by sea, of course. Or partially dismantled, there are many options.
Given the concerns about who would insure this, is there any possibility that, given the magnitude of this issue, Airbus would buy this aircraft back, self insure it for the ferry flight back to Europe, and then sell it back to Qantas once the repairs are completed?
