Qantas eyes resumption of A380 services to Los Angeles
Qantas Airways is expected to announce in the next day or two the resumption of its Airbus A380 flights to Los Angeles. f
The airline grounded its super jumbo fleet after a Rolls-Royce engine disintegrated mid-flight in November, but it has resumed A380 flights to London.
Qantas still needs the go-ahead from Australia’s aviation regulator before flying the super jumbo aircraft on the Los Angeles route.
“We remain hopeful we will have the aircraft operating by the 17th of January,” a Qantas spokeswoman told Reuters.
The airline is due to receive another A380 from Airbus in February, which will bring its super jumbo fleet to eight.
One of its A380s remains under inspection while the aircraft involved in the November incident is being repaired.
