ZK-OXC - HArd Landing 25-Jan - Close to write off
https://avherald.com/h?article=4a4e5a72&opt=0
ZK-OXC had a hard landing on 25 Jan and has been on the ground at Chc ever since. +3.6G is close to the write off point apparently. And there is apparently rumours out of AirNZ it is going to be a write off.
Will be interesting to see how they replace. Guessing a lease or one from the desert. Putting in a new order for a CEO would be a little stupid at this stage and having one domestic NEO will have logistic issues.
