Nahh..it's going to be scrapped. Look at the skeletal crack, after section 41, the rib is cracked and for an old bird like this, no point doing the repair.
I remember this plane while we were doing a support for them years back. they had another plane with tail " SU-GAY"..this one is SU-BOY>
good thing no one is hurt.
How have u been bro?

From the exterior shots, the airframe looks repairable. But the question (and one which will likely be answered by the airline's insurance company) is whether or not it is economically viable to repair it.
On newer planes with a high number of remaining airframe hours, it might be worthwhile to do so; on older ones nearing the end of their lives, it might be more fiscally prudent to write it off as a total loss.
