To be honest it happened at a less busy time considering flying out of ONT will be soft just at the end of the Christmas/New Year holiday and a bit before the chinese new year rush which will increase loading's from the end of January. Hopefully no damage occurred as CI lacks spare A350s if anything else went wrong on their network.
I just checked and it seems the mechanics came in and gave the go ahead since last night's flight for TPE went ahead with B-18912.
I was thinking how were they going to put passengers from 1/2/19 since the 1/1/19 flight to TPE had a full load.
Perhaps it was good thing nothing serious occurred or CI would have an issue in its hand since its having full loads from now to mid January to and from ONT.
