QF32? - A380 Emergency Landing at Changi

[Peter Agatsiotis]

Just checked my SBS log for VH-OQA.
Maintainance was started on or about 11th September and ferried back to SYD on 8th October as QF6020.
11 return trips since then.

Update from QF12 is that those passengers and those from another A380 (probably LAX-MEL?) are going to be accomodated by Qantas tonight but there's no word on when they'll get booked onto another flight at this time.

I'll stop with the QF12 updates now as this thread is pretty much dedicated to QF32 (although other A380 problems are probably related).

Today's QF 31 is delayed till 2000 and replaced with a B744. Not sure whether it will continue to London or pick up the stranded passengers.

Like what Dan has said, there is also a QF6021 to Singapore @ 2000 as well.

I presume the graceful lady of the skies the 747 will be picking up the slack AGAIN

In situations like this were 747s are positioned to pick up stranded passengers, do the Cabin Crew who operate the return flight pax on the way up?

Hi All,

Can QF Return to service the B744's in Storage in the USA, Unsure of location.

Also, can they still use OJR, or has it already departed for storage?

Please advise

VH-OJB has been used to operate the QF31 flight to Singapore and not continue to London. So i guess it will pick up the passengers tomorrow morning and bring them back to Sydney. QF31 departed at 2138LT.

VH-OJB as QF31 dep around 9:30 pm
