It's interesting that the article doesn't mention ANA. They have over 80 787 with RR engines.
BTW The routes to Europe will be affected with the reduced ETOPS rating. Central Russian isn't know for a high airport density. JP-US seems to be unaffected as there are airports all over Eastern Russia and Alaska.
