Engine failure on Qantas may be due to faulty part
Separately, a European Union air safety body confirmed it told airlines in August to make checks after finding “wear, beyond engine manual limits” on the type of Rolls-Royce engines fitted to the Qantas jet and some other A380s.
And less than 48 hours after the A380 incident, a Qantas Boeing 747 flying the same Sydney route returned to Singapore, also as a result of engine trouble.
