Looks like LAX off the radar for a bit though.

how come? just due to the fact they will be going off two planes momentarily or ?

if they dont trust them over the pacific i'm not sure you could say they have confidence in the aircraft full stop - just my 2c

Any idea on what time the A380 ferry flight from LAX is due to arrive into SYD tomorrow morning?

[Dave Parer]

Just looked at the Sydney Airport website International arrivals for tomorrow and have answered my own question.

QF6002 due in at 0900 from LAX.

It's the engines that are causing issues, not the aircraft...

Last time I checked, engines were a part of the aircraft...

[Ash W]

Indeed they are Jason. But it is the engines that have caused the groundings, and now Qantas et al have nutted out the issues and come up with a safe workaround, which it seems limits their scope of use, there is no reason why these aircraft cannot fly.

Clearly Qantas are not going to put aircraft into the skys that are in any way shape or form dangerous, especially after the experiance they have just had.

17:30 tomorrow the A380 will leave SYD bound for SIN with passengers and AJ...

I wonder how many TV crews will be there.....

Hope there are no delays for any reason as the media will pounce on anything for this one.

Flight closed. Looking hopeful for on time departure.
