FAA pegs cost of 787 battery fix at $465,000 per plane

The amount of 464,678 US$ will not be the cost of fixing the batteries of B787, but it would be the cost of carelessness and wrong technical assumptions.
Boeing should compensate B787 operators for their financial losses incurred during the period of grounding the aircraft.
For example, Air India was having high hopes for using the advantage of B787’s fuel efficiency in its long-haul flights. However, the carrier has invited bids for the sale and leaseback of all its newly acquired Boeing 787 aircraft from prospective lessors by the first week of February.
