VH-ZNC damaged upon landing in PER due to debris? QF6 PER - SYD cancelled

[exLXCXFF]

Just saw pictures of apparently VH-ZNC that performed FCO - PER and was damaged upon landing in PER.

Comments say it may have been due to debris on the runway and fire trucks were dispatched. Anyone with proper information?

Is this likely to further throw QFi into schedule chaos? How long to fix something like this?

That'll probably take weeks to fix up.
International schedule will be very messy.

To me looks like a retread tyre where the retread has come off.

Based on…?

Based on the 93/94 has already been cancelled for the 25th and not having enough nor any spare 787s to use to pick up the slack.

I meant the comment about “weeks to fix”.

If a refund takes eight weeks…

Different people though. One is commercial, and other engineering. Whilst I’m not particularly familiar with the 787, I wouldn’t be surprised if there has been some level of planning in the design to mitigate the effect of a tyre shedding the tread. On the other hand, this is the new Boeing (he says, reading about the OneWayLiner).

What does the second picture show? Is that just ripped tread stuck to the underside of the plane? Or has it punctured the skin of the aircraft?

it *appears* to have punctured the skin

Looking carefully at the image, and others online, it's the starboard outer rear tyre. The impacts are on the wing, mainly hitting small panels that should be easily removed/replaced (assuming they have any spares, though they are items likely to be accrue damage). You could possibly even fly without them. The silver line across the image is the edge of the flap, and that is likely to be more interesting.

HAs PVG ended yet? Perhaps they could reaccomodate what few pax they have flying there and ease the route early and shuffle a/c around?

PVG has ended already

Should have gone to Specsavers

Also now reported in the The Age, but do not expect to read accurate engineering report. This morning Channel 9 was saying would be flown to MEL or SYD for repair

According to The Age the incident occurred on takeoff in FCO. Flight crew were unaware, not detected until ground inspection in Perth.

Not as bad as the tire disintegration on AF4590

The onward sector to Sydney,NS (Australia) was cancelled.

Good thing they noted Australia, otherwise insufficient fuel may be an issue!

Well no flying for her so far, still stuck in PER

It's the most likely time for a failure. Heavy, and high speed. And even if they did know, continuing is still probably the best bet.
