The landing was recorded by the Airport CCTV.

Check out the speed. It kept going and going on the cctv-video.

looks like the a340 @ quito is a write off..... the plane is covered in tarps and no work has been done in months

The way a field repair works is:

1. Survey the damage
2, Order all major assemblies.
3. Locate the tooling
4. Transport the parts and tooling to the repair site.
5. On site repair team in place.

I have seen aircraft sit for a year before everything was ready to be repaired.
You'll know it's a write off when you see it being cut up.

Given the fact that UIO has very limited repair facilities ( most repairs are done in Latacunga) this would make a challenging job even more difficult. A client of mine who is the MRO chief for an airline here in LatAm said that he does not believe the repair will be done and that Airbus has already given Iberia a replacement aircraft. They will leave it here in repair limbo for quite some time before finally writing it off
