"Word has it that Boeing and BA AOG will be doing the work together. Not likely to start until some time in October since there are some logistics to sort out as well as airport authority authorizations, no doubt."

Boeing has had an inspection team go over the entire damage. They will make up a series of repair kits, all individually crated so as to allow the work to proceed in a logical order. The repair orders are written as to speed the tear-down and repair.

I saw this first hand when one of out Boeings was involve in a runway collision with another plane .
The aircraft sat in the hangar for 6 weeks, or so, than all these large wooden crates arrived. Every needed part down to the number of hi-loks and tubes of fuel tank sealant were in the proper boxes.

A Boeing repair crew showed up and went about repairing the wing and fuselage damage. About a month later, it was back flying again.
