Aircraft in question seems to be VH-OJD.

hmm, ground crew in Singapore tampering with QF aircraft perhaps?

Contaminated fuel even?

I agree with Kim. I have absolutely no problem getting on a Qantas plane in regards to safety.

And still managed to depart on time. A great team effort there I reckon.

Is it known how will OQA receive its replacement engine?
5th Pod on an QF A380 once they return to service, or will Qantas strike a deal with Singapore Airlines for one of their engines?

Default Qantas 747 lands in Singapore after engine problem
Quote:

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – A Qantas aircraft made an emergency landing in Singapore on Friday after experiencing engine problems, an airport official and state TV said, the second such incident involving the Australian flag carrier in as many days.

The Sydney-bound Qantas Boeing 747-400, with 412 passengers on board, had been in the air for around 20 minutes when it "sought priority clearance to return to Singapore," Channel NewsAsia reported
