We have therefore decided that repair of the tank would not prove economical and, if reinstalled on the aircraft, could prove to be unreliable. There is no airworthy spare available; we have accordingly commissioned a new tank to be manufactured immediately. With an estimated 16 week lead time for manufacture, we are very sorry to announce that it will not be possible to return the aircraft to flight again in 2013...
