SYDNEY — Qantas Airlines chief executive Alan Joyce says up to 40 Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engines need to be replaced in the global fleet of Airbus A380 superjumbos after an incident in which an engine broke apart in midair.
Joyce reportedly told journalists today that the airline was in talks with Airbus about its fleet of A380s, which have been grounded since the Nov. 4 incident. Qantas spokesman Simon Rushton confirmed Joyce’s comments.
Qantas, Singapore and Lufthansa airlines fly A380s powered by Trent 900 engines. Singapore Air and Lufthansa briefly grounded some of their superjumbos but returned almost all of them to service after making safety checks. The Associated Press
