I suggest you wait for the DGCA report into the incident to become public at the end of the year. You may find that the fault in this case will be attributed to the emergency services personnel who used WATER instead of FOAM or CARBON DIOXIDE agents to extinguish the wheel well fire, which caused significant damage to the carbon brake system on the 777. As a result, there was no option but to ground the aircraft and ferry a replacement in to cover for it.

Of course, its easier to blame the airline for everything.
