The aircraft belongs to a group of investors, who I suspect would have been pretty happy then, if the aircraft had been damaged sufficiently to be written off, of course without injury, as that sounds to be a lot more than the current realistic valuation. I wonder how the economic cost of the aircraft on ground (aog) is covered. The leasing cost alone will be around 50,000 euros a day without any of the associated replacement aircraft costs. My airline only insures part of this. Probably lucky for Air France it happened in autumn rather than spring in terms of maybe having spare capacity.
