The payment was made in accordance with standard air travel industry policy which says that if a plane has been missing for more than two days then it is assumed it has been destroyed.

>>Not sure how insurance works if the plane is later found to have landed relatively intact... someplace.<<

It is now the property of the insurance company. They would have to retrieve it and determine what they want to do with the aircraft.
