Strangely, I read a small news item in the latest (July 2009) issue of German aviation magazine "Aero international" that the plane had been written off and that the decision was made by the insurance company some time in April after mounting cost estimates for the repair.Well after being stranded in MEL for nearly three months A6-ERG A340-541 has departed MEL from rwy 34 @ 11.32 as EK7608 stopping PER, DXB and TLS unpressurised.
Unless they are going to part it at TLS but Ive heard EK dont want a hull loss $100M to repair, I know there was some issues between the insurance company on where the repair should take place, insurance company saying TLS and EK saying MEL.Strangely, I read a small news item in the latest (July 2009) issue of German aviation magazine "Aero international" that the plane had been written off and that the decision was made by the insurance company some time in April after mounting cost estimates for the repair.Well after being stranded in MEL for nearly three months A6-ERG A340-541 has departed MEL from rwy 34 @ 11.32 as EK7608 stopping PER, DXB and TLS unpressurised.

Retiring the aircraft wouldn't get the payout from the insurance company either.Retiring the craft wouldn't count as a hull loss.
After the paintshop.So when will they run it over the blast fence?
