Problem!

I wonder how much work it is to repair a plane that's been damaged like that and then to verify whether it is safe to fly again?

I'm not saying that plane is damaged beyond repair or anything. More like what is the procedure the airlines have in place to verify that some unrelated system wasn't damaged, somehow, by a truck driving literally into the plane.

Probably a couple months of down time while they check out what's been damaged and re-build the part and replace any electronics that have been damaged (there are a poo poo ton of sensitive sensors and stuff in the nose), then get it re-certified as airworthy by the FAA.

Considering that plane probably flies multiple routes a day and each of the 100+ seats on the plane is not not generating revenue during the downtime that's a decent chunk of lost revenue.
