BTW, HS-TKL is still out of service. I guess the damage requires lots of effort plus extra inspection to ensure no other hidden damages cause by the engine debris.
Ouch, that sounds like an expensive (yet necessary) temporary backup. If I remember correctly, TGF was withdrawn from service after sustaining minor(?) damage in a runway excursion upon landing last year. Add to that a D check and it could take a while before it is back in the air!
