I don't know the answer to your question but imagine the cost of putting the pax in hotels, transporting them to and from the hotels, and dealing with the pax in Dallas that were due to jump on that airframe in 18hours time , would be even greater than the wasted gas.
Anyone have any experience with the costs involved when this sort of thing happens? Do the Airlines even bother analysing each event and costing it?
Framer its an interesting point. It's more costly no doubt for QF considering unlike EK etc with larger fleets they can't just pull a A380 out of nowhere and everyone's on their way...
I'd wouldn't be blown away if it's a million dollar event once all aspects are taken into account
