More Problems For Qantas

Further problems have been found on Qantas’s fleet of Airbus A380’s after a major engine failure led to an Airbus having to make an emergency landing last week at Singapore airport. Since the incident Qantas has grounded all of its Airbus planes while an investigation takes place.

That investigation has led to more discoveries of faults such as traces of oil where there shouldn’t be after such a short time of service. The CEO of Qantas confirmed that all six Airbus A380’s in his fleet had been inspected and that three engines had been found to be leaking oil.

Other airlines including Singapore airways and Lufthansa also use the same Trent 900 engines in their Airbus’s had originally grounded their planes but after they performed their own checks have now put them back in the sky, despite Qantas’s findings.
