Composite repair to wings is done for over 50 years now, wings completely broken off have been successfully repaired probably 100 times.
Of course this is a complicated job requiring skilled specialists. Starting with damage determination. What looks damaged from the outside might be totally destroyed on the inside, what looks fine on the outside might be damaged on the inside. This aircraft will not fly this month...
