Upon reading the report more carefully I noticed the following:

The aircraft is currently unserviceable and is undergoing a major repair process to rectify[img]blob:https://www.flyertalk.com/d7135c6a-2...4-570f7da42021
the lower fuselage damage prior to a return to operational service.
Seems like the damage whilst significant has been deemed repairable by AC. Who knows how long it'll take before that bird flies again but the next concern should be safety as [MENTION=742310]24left[/MENTION] pointed out at the last D0. Improperly repaired fuselages have caused major incidents
Safe Travels,
