Well it was to be expected, but Lufthansa is change one of the engines in their fleet of Airbus A380’s “as a precaution”
This is after the QF32 uncontained engine failure last week.
The change has been made, even though no findings have been discovered in relation to the Qantas incident. Lufthansa has been carrying out checks recommended by Rolls-Royce.
Meanwhile Rolls-Royce has yet to determine the nature of the engine failure and is continuing to advise A380 operators who have Trent 900 engines installed to check for oil leakage.
Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines is completing the changes for their fleet. Qantas’s A380 fleet remains grounded for now.
