People's memory is surprisingly short when it comes to these things. And mainstream media has grown tired of reporting on DY it seems, so most people don't realise how many there are. And yes, when it comes to flights 1 DKK saved seems equal to happiness for many people...

Haha, very true. It is beyond me why ppl have to stuff themselves with probably the most expensive food and beverages in the country once at the airport...

Joking aside, there is a weird balance between where people freely spends and saves every possible penny.

Well, well... I'm pretty sure he will do exactly the same again next time.

LN-LND is by the way still stranded in CPH on the fourth day now. So much for a minor technical issue.

If Monarch cannot rustle up a spare Trent engine, the aircraft stays on the ground.

DY has the 787 'goldcare' package by Boeing, executed by Monarch in Europe.

But never the less. My point is the incident is a lot more serious than norwegian claims. Ln-lnd is now stranded in CPH on day 5, and I doubt it's because norwegian have no need for the bird.

Back in 2009 SK left a A330 for two weeks in EWR because of a dispute with the engine supplier about who was responsible for the damage. Swapping engines can be easy and/or tough, depending on the facilities you have on site and the spares.
The DY 787 engine needs an inspection after a flame out like that. If the contracted party cannot do that then the aircraft stays grounded, which is not necessarily an indicator on the extent of the damage.

It's no different from when they build the birds. They don't build the engines themselves either.

It really depends on what broke and how bad it broke
It is not that simple. Why should Boeing take responsibility for a 3rd party contributed part? Maintenance and service contracts for airliners are pretty complex agreements and as far as I know especially for the engines neither airbus nor Boeing take responsibility.

The airlines also don't order the engines from Boeing, and often not even at the same time.
