Qantas Grounds A380s After Jet Engine Fails

submitted by mintbbb

1 decade 4 years 3 weeks ago

LiveLeak: Australian airline Qantas has grounded its fleet of Airbus A380s after an engine failure forced a passenger plane to make an emergency landing in Singapore.

Flight QF32, which originated in London, was travelling from Singapore to Sydney with 433 passengers and 26 crew on board.

The Airbus A380 superjumbo experienced "a significant engine failure" less than 15 minutes after take-off.

Meta More..l debris - including a piece carrying the airline's famous "flying kangaroo" logo - was recovered by locals on the Indonesian island of Batam.

The Qantas pilot dumped the jet's fuel and returned safely to Singapore's Changi airport. No-one was hurt in the incident.

We're coming to the US for Christmas this year ... on a Qantas A380. Joy.

From the reports so far, it sounds like it was an issue with the Rolls Royce engines rather than the plane itself (not that that makes any difference when you're at 30,000ft). Hopefully they get the problem identified and fixed shortly... the A380 is an incredible bit of engineering and an amazing plane to fly on.

Well, at least the front didn't fall off.

I just heard on the news that another Qantas plane of different model, had to make emergency landing in Singapore.

This is smelling to me more like Qantas having a poor maintenance service, than the A380 having some kind of faulty engines.
