With the exception of QF32 #2 engine and I guess probably #1 as well, I doubt that there will be any new engines being handed out. The beauty of gas turbine engines is that they are repairable forever. It would be just too expensive, let alone precident setting, to exchange all affected engines with new. Not to mention they don't have engines just sitting around. However, some commercial arrangement will likely be arranged but you can be sure it will be confidential.
