If my sources are correct, writing off that A380 would have constituted Qantas' 1st loss of a jet aircraft for one of the world's oldest & safest airlines & Airbus' first loss of an A380 (statistically anyway).
Statistics have an interesting way of being intepreted with all sorts of marketting/brand and insurance impacts etc (well maybe

)
But, that aircraft is back in the air and good to see it going back in service.
