SYDNEY — A Qantas A380 carrying more than 450 passengers, including the airline’s chief executive, took to the skies Saturday in the first flight by one of its superjumbos since a midair engine explosion three weeks ago.
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce said he was flying the first leg of the Sydney-Singapore-London flight as a sign of the airline’s conviction that it had completed all modifications and other checks on the Rolls-Royce engines, and the planes were safe to fly.
