Singapore Airlines A380s cleared

breaking news

Singapore Airlines has resumed flights on its Airbus A380 aircraft – which were grounded after one of the planes operated by Australia’s Qantas Airways had to make an emergency landing.

One of the jet engines failed after take-off from Singapore. Engine maker Rolls-Royce has recommended checks.

After completing the checks, Singapore Airlines said it had cleared all its 11 A380 aircraft for service.

Qantas has grounded its six A380 jets pending investigations.

The aircraft is used by a number of airlines, although not all these are powered by Rolls-Royce engines.
