Don’t expect Qantas A380’s back in the sky for a few days yet, as inspections are still ongoing.
Qantas estimates it may not finish inspecting the engines on its grounded A380 fleet until Wednesday, and no re-entry into service has been given. Inspections on the damaged A380 are still on-going with the damaged aircraft that safely returned to Singapore after the failure.
During the weekend, two more of the Qantas A380’s had engine changes in Sydney and Los Angeles. Whilst the change has been made Qantas notes that they do not imply the engine itself is faulty.
Expect substitutions and BA 777 charters to help out in the meantime….
